My co-workers. I don’t learn a lot that really strengthens me or sharpen me in the areas I want to be sharpened but I learn what not to do a lot. Having patience and remaining humble because at times I think I’m better than them.
Val. She’s a good friend, but wanting a friend who is more open-minded, financially stable and ambitious makes it hard for me to respect her sometimes.
My son. I love my son. He’s so sweet and so gentle. And so loving and so smart. I love him. He shows me who I need to be and teaches me how to be more gentle, less harsh, more loving.
