Everyday is a struggle on this journey called life. It amazes me that the people that are in your life and claims to have your best interest at heart are the first ones to hurt you and tear you down. I am at a point in my life that I am cleaning out my closet and getting rid of all the negative nay sayers that are around me. I have to live for me and do what I know and feel is the right thing to do.

Thanks for your words of encouragement, inspiration and positive energy
I'm cleaning house too
And it can sometimes be a lonely journey. But I'm using the solitary time to fortify myself and look at the relationships in my life, old and new so I can make better choices about who I give my energy to. Stay strong sis, and more positive people and experiences are headed your way :)

Hang in there...
..., sis. I'm sorry that you have to do this. But, we've all been there at some point or another in life. I'm glad to read that you are doing something about it in the way of 'cleaning house'. I send you lots of love and positive energy as you learn more about yourself and await the happier and healthier relationships you desire!
So true...
Baby girl, every word in that piece resonates with me. Especially, "people that are in your life and claims to have your best interest at heart are the first ones to hurt you and tear you down." Lately, I have been having to fight tooth and nail for my independence from my mother. She does not understand what how valuable my independence, my own personal liberation is to me. She sees it as me turning my back on her. This causes her to respond with the harshest most hurtful comments. She digs up intimate details from my past as ammunition to thwart my attempts at liberation. There comes a point in every womans life where she must stand on her own feet, make her own mystakes, hurt then heal. At 21, I am there. I love my mother andI would never purposefully try to hurt her. This is not about her. Its about me. Even when she hurts me with her words I would never do the same to her. Its just a sad thing when the person you love and trust the most refuse to support you on something that will only make you stronger and better. I am sorry to be rambling but this weighs heavily on my spirit...
Blessings,
kim
