You hear that saying all the time. Out with the old, in with the new. It seems like the thing to do as the year comes to an end. Sometimes you just have to know when to cut something off if and when it doesn't work out for you. I felt like I've given things a chance, an opportunity to grow. But if it ends up harming me, it just has to go. It still amazes me sometimes how conniving, manipulating and artful people can be. My mom says I'm a bit "naive" that way. It's hard for me to accept that people can be so cruel, so mean, so calculative, but I suppose that is reality.

There are so many things I wish I could say to these people... but maybe some things are better left unsaid. At this point in time, I'd rather surround myself with people who didn't just say "look, I'm on your side", but they back it up with action. I am drawing the line and it's not a line in the sand. No more of these "neutral" folks who seem to agree with everything you say but they really don't have your best interest at hand. Again, it's hard to believe that people can be so conniving.
