Who are you hanging out with?

¡ Hello friends of Reflections !

Today was one of those days where we have conversations that make us reflect on our actions. My friend @samantha06 asked me a question: "Who is your friend? Who do you keep close?" It got me thinking, and coincidentally, I had these flowers with me. I realized that some relationships and friendships can be toxic, not all at once, but little by little. And a famous quote from Martin Luther King came to mind..

"Nobody falls suddenly; it is our actions that destroy us."

Reflection leads to a practical decision: Who do you keep close? It's not about judging or abruptly destroying, but about observing: Does this relationship nourish me or deplete me? Can I set healthy boundaries? Is it time to respectfully distance myself?

At other times, there are people who contaminate you not with thoughts or advice, but are like thorns that prick you until their actions wound you for life..

But let's not forget that if you do good, life will put wonderful people in your path who will help you flourish, people who can guide you in the right direction with just a single piece of advice. .

"Today I understood that not all the flowers around us help us bloom. Some simply teach us what kind of soil to avoid. Thanks to that awkward question from a true friend, I can now better decide who deserves a place in my garden.."
