so i ran across one of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite philosophers:
People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.
It really got me thinking. Am i surrounded by people who are making me grow as a woman?looking back on my life, i could really say my family and friends have been my rock, my support group. of course there have been "wilted" petals on the rose, but you get that here and again. I think one of my greatest downfalls is my niceness. people are vicious. we live in a world where a brother will shoot his own for something as little as 20 dollars. I had to grow and learn, that some people can't be trusted. to me knowledge is key to this, and like socrates says, " my knowlege is that i know nothing". knowledge is given by learning, studying, comprehending, analyzing, and bringing it to examples in everyday life. SO..with this being said...think about who you surround yourself with, and if those people will help you prevail and grow into the beautiful young women/men that you are.
with love,
nae.
