Spring cleaning..

I have decided to do some major spring cleaning, and not just my dirty house but my life. My friend the other day reminded me about a book that talks about emotional bank accounts and people/things that drain it. I have several of those in my life and I justify fighting for them due to length and past closeness of the friendship but to be honest they haven't been beneficial or good for me for a few years. I really am drained..tired of caring, fighting for people that I only hear from when it's convenient for them. I need to toughen up, get a thicker skin...how do I do that? I'm letting other people affect me so much, even letting them take away the good things that I have going on..and this is a problem I have every year! Ugh!

"You get whoever you end up with. Whoever is willing to stick by you, and fight for you, when everyone else is gone. And it ain't always who you expect. But you just have to make do."
