There is something beautiful about having long term friends that have witnessed multiple versions of you and loved you unconditionally through each version
My life got better when I realized I didn't have to be nice. Nice got me ran over, stressed out, & disrespected. I'm not nice. Im a good person. There's a difference.
Negativity is contagious. Unhappiness is contagious. Fear is contagious—but so is happiness. So is optimism. So is love. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you, and strive to be a reflection of the energy that you want to receive.
And when you pray tonight..pray to never lose yourself in the midst of chaos. No matter what happens, don’t lose yourself. When the going gets tough.. it’s easy to become someone else. You end up doing things that don’t align with your morals.
And when you pray tonight…pray for the ability to enjoy your own company. Being around people is fun. However, sometimes being by yourself…self-introspecting and spoiling yourself brings so much tranquility. Don’t go around hanging with just anybody. Your presence is expensive.
