Supportive and Encouraging

Having a great circle is not my priority, but I am thankful for choosing the right circle. This is written for my project of 30 days of writing to write anything interesting. This is dedicated to all my inner circles.

Bloom wherever you’re planted. But, some soil is better and suitable for some seed.

I love my friends.

We can’t deny some soil is more nutritious and some plants need a specific type of soil. The environment is a deciding factor for your growth. There’s too much research about the effect of your environment on your mental state to your physical state. Good friends make a good person. Toxicity spreads.

I don’t like making a friend or keeping in touch, but I think I made the right call by being with my current circle. I’m not that good morally since what I think we need to tolerate sometimes clashed with my value boundaries. Spirituality never really on my mind, since in my religion there is a belief that you will be gathered by people you cherish in the afterworld.

They have genuine values and supportive nature, I think that what’s motivates me the most. It’s the desire to be a better person. I know I need to change so I can bring pleasant feelings. I need to find my strength so I can share it. Because they’re here to stay and I don’t want to hurt them along the process, being better is a necessity.

In case you’re wondering how supportive friends look like, I will mention some of the quality I appreciate:

  • Giving support for your work and constructive criticism.
  • Calling out your bad habits, rude acts, and words.
  • Worry for your sake.

I love my friends, they have their weakness but their strength is magical. It raises each other, friendly and encouraging.

You are wasting your life and sanity with people who fed you toxicity. Just because they understand the most, don’t they’re good for you.
