Toxic relationships and friendships suck. It can drain all the energy out of you. Toxic relationships and friendships can become very abusive in the beginning and overtime. There are different kinds of abuse, and you can't always see it. You don't want to surround yourself with people who manipulate and constantly argue with you 24/7, and create unnecessary drama. Also talk about you to others in a harsh way. Criticizing you or pressuring you in any situation, trying to control you and insult you. It can become depressing.

Once you cut toxic people out of your life, you will realize how wrong they were for treating you that way. Then realizing you won't accept that from people anymore. Once you do come to the realization, it is a huge weight lifted off your shoulders.

When toxic people leave your life, you are allowing other people to come into your life who will make you see life from a different point of view, but a good point of view.

We've all endured the company of people who were not in our best interest at heart. Toxic people are not worth keeping around.

Unhealthy boyfriends, girlfriends, friendships, or coworkers are not worth it at all.

Here are 3 short signs of a Toxic relationship:

1. They are uncomfortable with your success/jealousy.

2. They make you feel bad about yourself.

3. They're untrustworthy.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza.

I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
