one of the nicest feelings is to be with someone who genuinely likes you. not only romantically but as a person, they enjoy your company. they listen when you speak, notice your details. being around you feels easy. you never have to wonder if you’re welcome or being tolerated
if you spend all day at a fish market, you’ll leave smelling like fish, even if you never touched one
but spend your day in a perfume shop and you’ll carry the scent even if you didn’t buy anything, that’s how environment works. it rubs off, whether you realize it or not. stay around complainers and everything starts to look negative. stay around excuse makers and growth feels optional but get around people who move with purpose, you’ll feel it.
get around people who live in gratitude, you’ll start to see differently. the scent of your environment will always follow you.
