I Give You My Back

I give up on toxic people. People who are full of negativity. I give up on "friends" who do not benefit me in anyway. Not intellectually, emotionally, mentally, nor spiritually at least. 

I am getting older every day. And each day that passes by being spent with no-good people is another day wasted. It's another day that I fail to grow. 

Sick of negativity, I have become. Drinking everyday, smoking up, partying every weekend, and wasting all our money on stupid things is something I do not wish to continue doing. 

If we grow together, we remain together. But if I outgrow you simply because you choose not to mature, then I will leave you and I will be unapologetic about it. Life's too short to waste on temporary people. I have a future that I need to focus on and dreams that I want to follow. I will not be held back by people with no vision.

I value the time and memories we have shared. I believe everyone comes into our lives for a reason. Much like school, we change teachers every year. We grow up to a certain point together, and then we plateau. 

But sometimes, we don't just plateau. We regress. And when you start dragging me down, that's the time I will let go. In a sinking ship, it's every man for himself. This is me accepting that not everyone who comes into my life, stays. I have to keep moving forward.

In life our perspectives and opinions are greatly influenced by society. 

We become what we are surrounded with. So surround yourself with positivity.
