The key message here is to not care what other people think of you. Seriously. I wouldn’t have even bothered wasting my time trying to burst their bubbles. As soon as you start caring what others think of you, you are no longer living your own life but instead living one through their eyes - a version of your life dictated by their own perspectives, judgements, prejudices, closed-mindedness. Ain’t NOTHING wrong with a moped too.
