Quote by Donny Osmond
Maybe I am a little bit guilty of trying to convince myself that I am cool to this point - even today. But I am so much more healthy than I used to be in my twenties, because I was not accepted at all.
Summary
This quote highlights the narrator's realization that in their youth, they felt the need to constantly seek validation and convince themselves that they were cool enough to fit in. However, as time has passed, they have grown healthier and have come to understand that seeking acceptance from others resulted in a lack of self-acceptance. They now view this change as a positive one, as they no longer rely on external validation for their sense of worth and have cultivated a healthier mindset.
