Aileen Ventura

Born an original. I never wanted to be different; I just wanted to be me. If you don’t like my words, don’t listen. If you don’t like my appearance, don’t look. If you don’t like my actions, turn your head; It’s as simple as that. I say what I feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.Why live to please others? I mean, it’s your life. If you aren’t happy with it, what’s the use in living? In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. Freedom lies in being yourself. I was once afraid of people saying, “Who does she think she is?” Now I have the courage to stand and say, “This is who I am. Nobody said you had to like it.”
