One thing I've realized is that, you don't need to vent to your friends about everything that you're going through. Sometimes it's okay to just pray about it and move on. Let it be between you and God.
one of my favorite parts about life is being so aligned with people/your environment that they randomly confirm things you’ve only been talking to yourself or God about lol
I’ve learned to stay away from people who bring out the mean, reactive or chaotic side of me. Not because I’m incapable of handling them, but because I know that version of me isn’t who I want to be. If a connection constantly pulls me away from my peace and brings out a side of myself I don’t recognise, I’d rather walk away. Protecting your peace means protecting the person you’re becoming.
