I came across this wonderful gem this morning. 30 things to stop doing to yourself. Number one is my favorite. If I’ve learned anything this year, it’s that you have to be conscious of what you are bringing into your own space, what type of energy you are welcoming into your life. I believe that people come into our lives for a reason, and sometimes you learn what you need to learn from them and then you both need to move on. Not all friendships last forever, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean that while you were friends it wasn’t real or that they were lying when they said this or that or that the world is ending because you aren’t friends anymore. You’ve served a purpose in each other’s lives and now it’s time to move on. As Tristan Prettyman said, “At the end of the day, you have to live with the things you invite into your space, and if they aren’t working for you anymore, you have the right to escort them right out. If people frown, or your friends give you a hard time, or your family wishes something else for you, tough nuggets. It’s not up to them. We all deserve to be happy, healthy and loved." It’s true that it’s the people who stand beside you when you’re at your worst who are your true friends. I may have unintentionally put some people through hell these past few months and the strong have definitely survived. Or told me to shut up and get over it. Or let me cry in their beds at very odd hours of the night. Or just let me sit in silence. You really do have to stop spending time with the wrong people, and give the people who care a chance to take care of you when you need it the most.
