People Don’t Care So Stop Caring

Dear Reader,

As many people do I always cared about what people thought about me. But it’s such a toxic way of thinking and ultimately stops you from doing the things you love.

Today while I ran my first ever 5km I was challenged with this thought. Because I am currently staying in a crowded city I was constantly passing people and cars and I kept thinking “Oh my gosh they probably think I’m so slow” or "I look crazy in a workout outfit when everyone is wearing trench coats and boots”.

When in reality it’s either 2 things:

1. they noticed me and did not care what I was doing

2. they didn’t notice me and didn’t care what I’m doing

I have come to learn that people are way more worried about themselves than about what a stranger is doing in a passing moment.

So please don’t let what you think other people’s opinions will be and just do whatever it is you want to do!

All my love,

Kaila 💌
