Sw3etdev1L Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 As I've grown older I've become more selective in the people I want in my life. When I was younger I thought I wanted to be like Paris Hilton I guess, surrounded by friends and people, whoever they would be, they would be welcomed. Good, Bad, In between, Spiritual, Frivolous, With bad habits, with good habits, constructive, destructive.. My mom died I felt this self protection instinct becoming more acute. I've alienated myself from people who I feel, or know they are not good. Maybe I might seem like I am a little stuck up, or whatever. But I am not. I am self protective of people who are negative, and I feel so much better like that. I'm getting married. So I ask myself.. ¿would I get this person involved in my lifestyle afterwards? ¿would I want this person to go into my home, and visit my kids? ¿would this be a good influence in my home, with my family? ... if it is a no, it is a no. Why? I rather have a smaller crowd full of kind people with good values, than to have a lot of "shadows".. I appreciate the people who help me grow as a person and as a human being. I feel so much better this way. I must say it is hard, because it is hard. But it is worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
