My creepy burglar

When I was 18 my car was broken into. I was on my way to work, so when I noticed I immediatly called the police. Once they arrived we started sifting through the glass, documenting all that was taken. All the valuables were there… my CD player and phone accessories were in tact. The only items missing were the contents of my center console: senior year photos, lip stick, my hairbrush, perfume and my weekly work schedule. The Police advised me not to go to work for the remainder of the week.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
