“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life.

It’s realizing that you don’t need certain people and all of the drama that they bring. So don’t worry about the people in your past, there’s a reason why they didn’t make it into your future.”
