Quick note I wanted to remember.

Some friends can be supportive.
Some friends can be unsupportive.

One must always distinguish the difference between a friend carrying for your own safety. And a friend just trying to impose their opinions and beliefs upon you. Though some friends may not realize what side they represent. Or how their words are perceived. On the flip side, one may interpret incorrectly or may be ignorant to one’s own destructive/negative decisions.

I have decided that I will take in comments and suggestions. Evaluate them and use them to evaluate my actions.

But I must say that I no longer will share my interests, my thoughts, or my actions with those “Friends” who I feel choose words that either hurt me or belittle me. You don’t need to know who I am, if you don’t respect who I am.
