Sometimes you feel good about who you are.

Sometimes you don't feel good about who you are.

Sometimes someone you love makes you feel good about who you are.

Sometimes you accomplish something, and it makes you feel good about who you are.

Sometimes, someone else's asinine behavior makes you feel good about who you are.
