<center>***“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman, Coraline***  Hi everyone. I hope you all are fine. I am doing well too. This is my entry to the #weekend-engagement contest. I do not give up on things that easily. I am not a quitter for sure. However, there are a few things that I have given up. These are not some jobs or tasks. These are some habits or I should say personality traits.  There is this one thing that I have given up and I am happy that I did. It is explaining myself. I should make it clear that people of my social circle are not very welcoming and friendly. They find fault in everything you do. Growing up, I had to explain every action that I did for myself and for others. I have been accused of so many things from petty to large. There have been so many attempts of character assassination. I had developed a habit of defending myself, my character, my image. I was not wrong and I had to keep proving it to people. I have given that up now. I no longer explain myself. Recently, someone accused me of something that I never did and I did not bother to defend myself. I did not even react. I just told them that if you want to believe that I can do something like this, then go on. I am done. If you do not trust me, then there is no point proving it.  I do not care about what people think about me anymore. I wish I did that earlier. It has given me so much of peace and sense of self worth. I do not give others the right to play with my mental health. Constantly explaining myself bothered me and traumatized me. I refrain from doing it and now I am peaceful at heart. What is it that you have given up? Feel free to participate. Thank you for your time and support. It means a lot to me. Do share your thoughts and views in the comments section below so that we can learn and grow together. Take care and have a great day ahead. Do not forget to follow my account for more such content.
