~ If You're In My Life ~

“I don’t surround myself with people who are constantly positive, always smiling to mask the bullshit life they actually have. I prefer people who are real, honest and raw. I don’t want anyone who walks on eggshells around me. If your day sucks, I want to hear about why it sucks so I can help make it better. If you’re not really happy, don’t fake a smile on my behalf. I’d rather you spill your guts with tears every day, until your smile is real because I don’t care about the show, the disguise, the political correctness. If you’re in my life, I want you to be in your own skin.”

@antonioioio That's very much true. This is more about acceptance though. I want to surround myself with authentic people; the realists, and not those faking a pretty little life. If someone's life is falling to pieces, I want them trust me with their demons and know they have a friend that wants them to be themselves. As long as they're not toxic individuals and sincere, I accept people for who they are💙
