"No. not whatever. I don't really care about the dynamic in there, but I used to be a lot like you. Don't let people push you around in your own house.
My philosophy is "know thyself". That's it. Look, you're on the John train. Your life is the track that you're heading down. The most anyone can ever do is have their train running right next to yours, right? Because that's their life. If you know in your balls where you're headed, if you know who you are, then all you have to do is look to your left and look to the right and see who's keeping up. Everybody else can kiss your f**king ass. It takes balls to be an individual. Society doesn't tach you that skill, but it rewards it and that's how successful people live. Independently!
