"Be easy on yourself. Have fun. Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it." - Amy Poehler

We are everything we are because of those who love us. Love is in everything we do. It is in every book we read, song we sing and it is felt within the moments when we feel most alive. Sometimes love leads to tears, broken hearts, torn relationships and uncertainty. However, if you love and allow yourself to be loved in return, you will always be okay.
Kicking someone to the curb doesn't provoke hate. Hate has nothing to do with it. "Kicking them to the curb" is practicing self-love.
