Today was my marching band preview. It went pretty well, but it helped me realize something. The recurring theme of today is pretty straightforward, nobody's opinion matters unless I let it matter. Theres no point in listening to people that aren't devoted and commited to making me better as a person or helping me. the opinions that help me, whether that be from friends or instructors or whomever, are important and help me to be a better version of myself. why cloud my mind with useless judgement from those who don't care about my success in the slightest when i could use the advice of those who actually know what they're doing and care about me. got all my requirements done, took advanced sparring and a blackbelt class, ate dave's hot chicken for dinner, and now playing R6 with Jakhye.
