Absolutely. Toxic people are soul suckers. Self absorbed. It is both exhausting to be around them and in my case, it makes me sick.

I have been free for a day and I had such a good sleep last night. I havent felt this good in way too long. I've escaped prison and I am never looking back. There is way too much I have to see laying ahead of me.

If I sound ecstatic, it's because I am. It's the first day of the rest of my life. Happy optimism is who I am and I found me again.
