1. Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends. 

One of the most important things I have learned this year was that it is pointless to put myself out there for others when they clearly have no interest in maintaing the same kind of relationship I have/had on mind. & it is OK. It is okay when others didn’t want what I had to offer. It is okay that they have not appreciated it either, because there are actually other people out there who do appreciate and not take me for granted. These people I like being around.
