I no longer have patience 
for certain things, 

not because I've become arrogant, 
but simply because I reached a point in my life 
where I do not want to waste more time with 
what displeases me or hurts me. 

I have no patience for cynicism, excessive 
criticism and demands of any nature. 

I lost the will to please those who do not like me, 
to love those who do not love me and to smile at those 
who do not want to smile at me. 

I no longer spend a single minute on those 
who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to 
coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, 
dishonesty and cheap praise.
