Just because they’re your family, it doesn’t mean they have the best intentions for you. Many of us are taught that there’s nothing more important than family. But biological relationships don’t always equal supportive, close relationships. Friends can be more like family than family itself. We shouldn’t conceal the fact that sometimes it’s our own family members who are the most toxic people in our lives.

It’s not selfish or a sign of weakness to distance yourself or walk away from those who constantly bring down your vibe.
Life is about balance. It’s about spreading kindness, but it’s also about not letting anyone take that kindness away from you.

We hold our phones more than we hold real conversations, and each other. We’re so busy looking down at screens and engaging in digital interactions that we forget about the environment around us.
