one thing i learned in my life is to stay away from people who make u feel bad in any way
the bible says guard your heart, because everything in your life springs forth from the condition of your heart, its like everything is a branch from your heart i feel like i have a true understanding of that these days a person doesn't have to be mean in order to be bad for u they can be nice, but they can affect u negatively, maybe because they devalue u, or they make light of the way u live your life, or maybe u were in a relationship with them and they left u, or maybe they broke your trust, or maybe they just never call u back when u call them, or maybe they seem to somehow always pull u into competition with their life, or maybe they r only nice when they get their way, but when u say no then they are vicious, maybe u just don't like what they choose to talk about all the time, maybe they make u second-guess all your decisions......... the list goes on sometimes people have an affect on you and that effect is negative that goes into your emotions first then your mind then it comes out in your decisions each of these things are like a steering wheel for your life in its own way a lot of times u can nip a potentially bad situation in the bud by just guarding your heart part of guarding your heart is being on guard against negative people and not just accepting anyone as a friend, mate, spouse, etc. i will give u an amplified example ok say u can spend your weekend alone, or with a convicted felon.. u would rather choose to be alone right? right well this is kinda how u have to look at it.. not THAT drastically, but look at it like.. ok, is this person positive for me or negative for me? let me re-iterate, this is just FOR YOU as a person.. for example, a person who drinks is not necessarily negative, however, if u are a recovering alcoholic, then yes, that person is negative FOR YOU if u are around negative people (for you), for the most part your life will show it they will drag u through the mud.. (with mud simply being "places u don't want to go") and they will affect u in ways both obvious and subtle for example, say u think something is funny but someone else doesn't think its funny at all.. then later on a joke pops up again.. u may just try not to laugh, and just laugh at the parts where the other person laughs, so that u can be accepted, little do u know u have sacrificed a part of what makes you YOU, in order to appease a "friend" guarding your heart is re-evaluating who u call a friend who u spend time with guarding your heart is not just falling in with a crowd guarding your heart is wisely CHOOSING one's friends pool boy pretty much learned this the hard way take a 2nd look at your life, the people, and things around you, and guard your heart, guard your individuality, guard what makes u YOU, and just exist in your lane.. hopefully, this will attract cool people closer to u and ward off lame-o's who bring u down for whatever reason i know for me personally.. some people i just completely avoid and i'm way better off without them just some thoughts for u.. peaCe
