Today I've been contemplating those in my life (both past and present-tense) who seem to be filled with nothing but bitterness. Every time I see or hear from or of them, all I seem to find is vitriol; they are so consumed by their hatred/bitterness/grudge that they vilify everything and everyone around them. To themselves, they are the eternal victim. No matter how much they lash out at others, they are always justified in their own mind.

I realized, then, that over the last year I have slowly been distancing myself from these people, from those once near and dear to simple aquaintences. As a currently-very-near-and-dear coined it, the DRAMADIUM TOXICITY of these people seeps into their relationships, and into others accociated with them. And every time I let go of one toxic relationship, a fresh, and always easier one seems to find its way to me.

Life, I then thought, is treating me very well. I am extremely grateful for my friends, for every time I talk to or see them, I feel refreshed and happy.

<333 to all of you.
