Grateful for the things lost | 2

It all starts with awareness. For me, it was learning to leave my “friends” because I didn’t want to have people in my life that were constantly bringing up things just to make me feel bad and make themselves look better. I didn’t know then, but when you have people who are always bringing up the negative things in your life just know that it is NOT a dig at you as much as it is their insecurities talking out loud. In that case, it is perfectly ok to be alone rather than in bad company.

Yes, we all have insecurities but we don’t need to hang out with anyone who points them out constantly. All that does is bring toxicity into your life and to be clear

Toxicity: The degree to which a substance (a toxin or poison) can harm humans.

I had friends that weren’t really my friends by definition and they didn’t even seem to reflect any of the same core values I had, yet I allowed them to become part of my world. I felt the need to constantly watch my back around them and looking back I’m not sure why I even called them my friends.
