Better alone :) than with people who take more than they give. At the age of 18, I cut off people I had grown up with because deep down—even when I knew some weren’t good for me—I was always trying too hard to fit in, trying to relate, doing things just so I could “be part of the group.” And after all that, I still failed miserably because nothing was ever enough. I’m not here to point fingers, just sharing what I experienced. By the time I stepped away, it had already changed me in ways I didn’t like. Not to mention how low my self-esteem got when I was constantly thinking about putting others first and pleasing everyone. As I got older, I started surrounding myself with people who actually appreciated me. People who weren’t jealous - who respected my choices, understood my patterns and saw me for me. They showed me new perspectives and opened my world to new experiences. And that's exactly what helped me align with myself, my path and build my business. I still don’t have a full social calendar, but I would say i have something much better
