    I only learned this a few weeks ago at 40 years old, now my hair is blue, both my ears are pierced and I’m a lot happier. I told my 19 year old daughter that “what will people think?” has been my mantra, now it’s “fuck 'em”

      "at 20, you care the world what everyone thinks of you

      At 40 you learn to not care what anyone thinks of you

      At 60, you realize nobody has been thinking about you at all, the whole time."
