Haters Gonna Hate

I feel like I've been living by that saying more recently.

Haters gonna hate.

I know it first started as, or well, at least I first discovered it through the internet in a series of meme images emblazoned with those three words. It's rather tickling, and one of the better memes out there, in my opinion.

And I just took it at face value with whatever person/animal/object was strolling in some nonconformist fashion, basically not giving a flying fuck what everyone/thing around thinks.

But then in the past days and weeks, I've actually realized I've been saying it along with thinking it. Guy doesn't like my cardigan? Well I love it, haters gonna hate. Get caught doing a silly dance during a lapse in practice and totally getting judged by my partner? Whatever, I'm having fun, haters gonna hate. Doing pretty much anything questionable/out of the ordinary and getting the strangest looks from people? Haters gonna hate.

Screw what other people think, and only regard the opinions of those who matter most to you. Life's too short to get beat by shallow thoughts and pointless criticisms. Stay classy. Stay fabulous. Stay fierce.

Stay extraordinary.
