So a friend (also known as the same friend as before HA HA ha) of mine suggested I watch a video by youtuber/tumblogger and OUR IDOL Ceedling (THIS is her Youtube channel, THIS is her tumblr.)
It's called "Shedding what doesn't serve you", and it's basically a video on ridding yourself of the 'toxic' people in your life in order to be the best version of yourself that you can be.
The video was very timely, and the advice was sound. While watching the video, images of people I never even thought of as 'toxic' started to appear, some even surprising myself. Though shedding them would be very difficult and messy, at least I've learnt to recognize who they are. I don't doubt that I hold the position of being 'toxic' to some of the people I am around, and while I constantly tell myself I need to change, old habits are hard to get rid of. Reflection is the first step, though. So I'm on my way.
I am a 16 year-old conglomeration of contradictions and spontaneity, therefore my blog is, too. But it's not 16. It's not even 1. (This blog will not have impeccable grammar, hilarious one-liners and deep moving stories. It will have feminist rants, the occasional recipe, and maybe poetry. Your choice.)
