I think one of the biggest lessons I have learned throughout the last couple of years is that if you do not surround yourself with people that make you happy then you yourself will never be happy. I have struggled for years realizing who was toxic for my life and who was not. I think like many people I had a hard time trying to figure out who were my "true friends" and who was just there because they had no one else. That is one of the hardest things I think is realizing who is really there and then being able to accept that some friendships are just not meant to be.

This year I learned that surrounding yourself with people that are you happy with is one of the most important things you can do. If you have people that bring you down, make you feel not important and make you not want to be yourself then you need to get yourself out of that relationship. Be with the people that can make you laugh for hours, you can watch movies with and be content, make you want to go out and do fun things and just make you happy.

One of my new years resolutions this year is to make sure I surround myself with the people that truly make me happy. I can say that when I am home I make sure to surround myself with the people that make me the happiest. I can just be me and that is one of the greatest gifts. Being able to be yourself with the ones that make you the happiest. So this year I am going to make sure to surround myself with he people that make me the happiest. I am done letting negative people rule my life and interfere with my happiness. So for all of you out there that is struggling finding their true friends do not feel the pressure and just settle for people that make you feel different. Surround yourself that make you feel happy! You will not regret it!
