Every person you come across has a story. A story behind why they behave the way they do, love the way they do, and do things the way they do. Experiences build people and they are the ‘reasons why'.

However, some people may have tendencies that should not be an excuse for what they have been through. They will be rude, judgemental, self-righteous, selfish, mean, etc, and that usually makes them toxic to those around them.

Toxic people are a type that should be avoided at all costs because they'll only bring you down, discourage you, and make you unhappy. Going through something tough should teach us values like empathy and compassion.

Some people easily pick up these values through their adversities and become the kind of people that everyone wants to be around. People prefer people who uplift them, make them happy, motivate them, support them, and understand them.

Positive people have more friends compared to negative people. They are more approachable, kind, helpful, caring, and nurturing. If you find yourself entangled in a friendship, relationship, or situationship that doesn't serve you right, always walk away.

It may be hard to leave, but some people are just not the ones for you. Staying hoping things will change never works out well in the end. Choose your mental and emotional well-being over anything that feels toxic. There are so many great souls out there waiting to love and cherish you

If you keep going backwards with the same people that God has intentionally removed from your life, you will continue to stay stuck. There is no joy in being confused and unhappy.

If that's the case, then maybe you would like to tell me what is real. It isn't a parent's love! We all know that's not perfect. Plenty of people abandon their children, including members of the Sohma family! Just like you! Ever think of that?! You can't say what's real or fake, what's pretense or worship. No one can define those things. No one! The bond that we share is sacred, you hear me? It's sacred! We will share an eternity together!

Forgive me, I guess I am off in the head, but I mean, except for a quickie piece of ass it wouldn't matter to me if all the people in the world died. Yes, I know it's not nice. But I'd be as contended as a snail; it was, after all, the people who had made me unhappy.

You can say a lot of bad things about Alabama, but you can't say Alabamans as a people are unduly afraid of deep fryers.

There's a small balcony here, the door is open and I can see the lights of the cars on the Harbor Freeway south, they never stop, that roll of lights, on and on. All those people.

We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing.

Because there are some things that last forever.

It’s not always easy to see the good in people. In some people, you might even doubt that it’s there at all. But if you can somehow, find a way to believe…sometimes that’s all it takes to help someone, to give them the strength to find the good in themselves.
