When other people dismiss you and condemn you,
it doesn't mean that you aren't worth paying attention
to or that you don't have something to offer.
It means your detractors aren't smart enough to
recognize your value, or they're compensating for
some Everest-sized shame and lack of confidence
of their own.
Either way, if you just learn to say "Fuck 'em all,"
you've kind of amply covered all your bases.
