when one spends time with a killjoy one's joy is killed

sometimes it seems to me that happiness is an act of rebellion

I found a pack of speculoos cookies in the back of the pantry on the high shelf, ate 6, now I feel sick, am throwing the rest away . No more cookies for this year.

Toxic people are so pervasive. Remind yourself that the issue is with them. Normal people don’t go around tearing other people down or trying to make them feel like crap

it's hard to remember that toxic people are toxic 100% of the time
