If you hear people from my past speak of me, keep in mind they are speaking about a person they do not know anymore.
When you make a true-blooded decision to change your whole life for the better, people start talking. Your old friends will say you have changed. They will say you are different and taking life “too seriously”. They will shit on you and who you have become while telling others about the old you like you have never changed. You have to forget these people. You are different now and no longer a bad individual. Remember that.
