A man is happy if he finds praise and friendship within himself. You can never be sure of where you stand in someone else’s heart. -Havamal stanza 8

Where do we stand, in other peoples eyes? Is it a good place, or shall we be surprised. Are we the sunshine in the darkest night? Or perhaps a void filled with blackest light?

We want to be loved and thought well of by others. But that is something that only comes from mothers. People are cruel, they tell many a lie. All to get us fooled, and on their side.

No one knows, the thoughts in others heads. Good, bad, peaceful, or perhaps full of dread? Things to make us weep with joy, or thoughts of darkest nature they may employ.

The truth behind those eyes, can always be a surprise. One that we will see, will always the true nature be.

So don’t concern yourself, with others thoughts and praise. Instead turn inward, and to your self give praise.

For your own thoughts, and your own mind. Are the ones that really matter, in the end you’ll find. No one else can love you, the way you do yourself. They will.play with you a while, and put you on the shelf.

Fill yourself with happiness, take away the worry and doubt. And in the end perhaps, with joy you will shout.
