We must surround ourselves with people who can lift us up and nurture us, because compassion cannot be born out of resentment, and elegance cannot be cultivated through arguments. Spending too much time in an environment of internal conflict makes it difficult to stay positive and motivated. Love is a non-renewable resource; do not easily deplete it, and even less so by helping others hurt yourself. Your sincerity and energy should be reserved for those who make you feel safe to be a child and who can grow alongside you.
