You know what's funny about getting older? You start realizing just how much your personality depends on the company you keep. π
Some people bring out the absolute best in you. They make you laugh until your stomach hurts, encourage you, support you, and leave you feeling lighter than when you arrived. Those are my kind of people! ❤️
And then there are the others. Bless their hearts. ππ€£
The ones who can take your peaceful, coffee-sipping, minding-my-own-business self and somehow have you mentally flipping through a dictionary of words you haven't used since your twenties.
And the really talented ones? They can accomplish this before you've even finished your first cup of coffee! ☕π
But here's something I've learned over the years: Not everyone deserves access to every version of you.
Surround yourself with people who bring out your laughter, your kindness, your confidence, and your happiness. People who celebrate your wins, respect your boundaries, and don't make every interaction feel like an unpaid therapy session.
And when someone consistently brings out a version of you that you don't particularly like? Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is love them from a distance.
Because protecting your peace doesn't mean you've lost your backbone. It means you've learned when something simply isn't worth your energy.
At 50, I'm all about good vibes, genuine people, belly laughs, and keeping my blood pressure where it belongs. ❤️
But don't get it twisted. That vocabulary is still in there somewhere. I'm just trying not to give it a reason to come out and play! π€£π
