I used to hear things and get upset thinking up why someone could be saying such awful things about me. One day I came to the conclusion that not everyone is going to like me, and just because they’re saying something mean about me, it doesn’t make it anymore true. When I qualified for the Olympics, I heard about how I don’t even train, that I don’t deserve that spot, that I’m not talented and best of all, that it was only because I’m lucky. And that’s when I grasped the fact that no one will ever truly know what it took to get there. I had to fundraise, work different kinds of jobs, cry myself to sleep at night, beat myself up for every underperformance. People will always find something negative about you. You can’t let that effect you. Be a good person, treat people well, and work on being the best version of yourself. If you are truly happy with who you are, what does it matter what some stranger says about you?」4月12日 4時26分
