"Don't worry, be happy" - Bobby McFerrin

So what if

So what if you’re strange

How normal can everyone be?

So what if you’re irritating

I don’t think everyone’s delightful

So what if people can’t stand you

Ask them to sit down

So what if you’re ugly

What is the true definition of beauty?

So what if you’re fat

It means you have more space for food

So what if you’re not good enough

When can anyone ever be good enough?

So what if you have failed

It doesn’t mean you can’t succeed

Don’t tell me I don’t understand

What it’s like to be fat and ugly, I say don’t

Because I’ll tell you, you don’t understand

What confidence is.

Be happy, be strong, earn respect

Not regret.


For anyone who has ever felt unwanted and unloved
