every time you assume that others are thinking negatively of you or judging you behind your back, you are bullying yourself through them. at the end of the day, you don’t know what thoughts are running through their heads unless they verbally express them to you. until then, every one of ‘their’ opinions about you is nothing more than your fear, and whatever assumption is born from your fear is yours to let go - not theirs to disprove.
By the way, if any of you, like me, are nerds who love maps, I highly recommend checking out the Turgot map. I won’t link it or tumblr will eat this post, but you can find it just by searching Wikipedia - it’s an incredibly detailed 3D map of Paris made in the 1730s, and by “incredibly detailed,” I mean
incredibly
incredibly
INCREDIBLY
DETAILED!
Look, there’s Notre Dame! Individual trees! Individual lampposts! Individual boats!! (Some of them even have little people in lol, though clearly not to scale)
The full scan is over 35,000 pixels wide, guys! That’s over 10 feet of map!! All drawn and engraved by hand! I’m freaking out a little! What an absolutely amazing piece of history & art!
