About This Quote

You’re only responsible for yourself, Jess. And that’s the only person you can control. Other people will either get it or they won’t but you can’t define yourself by their opinions. This is the same advice that many of us give to our children when they are struggling to define themselves.

This advice is also the opposite of what we want to say to them when they are in need of support and guidance. When we feel helpless and stuck, we want to tell them that their lives aren’t their own and that they should stop trying to be something they’re not and instead, just let go and make others happy.
