“Setting my own boundaries after realizing that when I didn’t, people set them for me.”
“Cutting out toxic ‘friends.’
My childhood best friend grew into a manipulative selfish prick.
For years I hung out with him almost every day after work and always felt miserable afterwards.
Everyone around me questioned why I still spent time with him.
I always made excuses that seem ridiculous in hindsight.
I should have cut ties 10 years ago.”

Good eating habits and exercising changed my life.”
