when you really do stop caring what other people think.
I am waiting for that moment.
I'm working toward it, and with good progress, but it seems a steep hill some days.
It's not that I don't care about other's opinions, it's just that I want to believe so strongly in myself that caring about their opinion doesn't change mine when it shouldn't.
Don't want to be uncaring, just, um, sturdy. Maybe the word is steadfast.
1. (esp of a person's gaze) fixed in intensity or direction; steady
2. unwavering or determined in purpose, loyalty, etc. (steadfast resolve)
That'll work.
I didn't have a word of the year until just now! Usually, I pick a word at New Year to set the tone for the upcoming year in my mind; (not one to make resolutions, finding them to be pretty much useless.)
Strong, not callous. Focused, not myopic. Determined, not indifferent. Unwavering, not inflexible. Not going anywhere but down the chosen road, one bump at a time, enjoying the clatter and the rhythmic rocking. Watchful, prepared for the haul; excited to see what's ahead...
are we there yet?
