Welcome to the site, Eve.

I have always believed that, when you are old and look back on your life, if the true friends you have number the fingers on one hand, you are lucky indeed.

Take care and all the very best,

Ben

"We choose not to fight for ourselves sometimes
because we think we deserve the people that hurt us"

That rings true for a lot of people. I really liked the saying "You're only as good as the company you keep", and I think that holds true here too. Why surround yourself with negative people? Insightful poem.

Well done.
