Intermission

This made me take pause, that's a beautiful advice.

As for the author's note: I think the people in our lives reflect who we are.
Also: did you just write a haiku? ;-)

Yes Duende.. I did leave it as a haiku. I meant to write more but chose to leave as a thought provoker instead.

I'm glad that you highlighted pause aspect
I wanted to convey

Heavy appreciation always

The company we keep should be our tribe.
Our people that support & uplift us. Having toxic people
around you only takes away from who you are.
We def need an inventory of who's in our life.
Great write.

Taking inventory...yes!

I wrote this to inspire conversation within our alone time
Thank you for your feedback, Debbie

Much appreciated

Seems to me that it's important we take a moment to reassess those we allow to occupy space in our lives regularly. Are we feeding negativity by allowing toxicity too near? Are we encouraging it somehow? Have to assess Self as well as those in our lives. They're there for a reason...or we're. Is it time to move on? Is it time to step closer. This one stirs so many questions! Nice one, Naajir, now I'm going to be contemplating this for days...

You nailed it, Willow..gracefully so.

This is brilliant and concise. Most of all it makes me ponder. Nicely done into the list it belongs. Appreciate you.
