Dej,
It's OK for people to be broken, just not all the time. I have 2 friends of over 30 years I can depend on. No toxic people are allowed to stay in my life. Having taught I know how to put on the "You Idiot. No, you can not pull that carp with me" look. Does it put me in the running for Miss Congeniality? No, but I don't care. I have to put me first

I can be strong cause my friends are strong and have taught me. But they and my Dad taught me sometimes you make a mistake, that's OK, just clean up behind yourself. Mom said "Always be nice.". It's a balancing act.

Can we be virtual friends? I promise to never show up at your house.
