"Relationships are hard work. Not being able to have a quality relationship with those we care about is draining. However, having healthy relationships begins with you. Revisit familiar but toxic relationship patterns. Become aware of what you value and develop a strong sense of self. As you do this, you may decide that some people need to be cut out of your life and others kept at a distance. The best part of processing this is finding those relationships that can be saved and investing in them. Clear your life of that which brings you pain. Make space for that which brings you joy. It's not selfish. It's healthy."
