Thanks Randomly Me — taking care of yourself and putting yourself in your best position to make good choices for you is always key (has been for me.) Sorry about your negative hitchhiker. When I was competing, we had a terrific sports psychologist (she was also an Olympian) who I quote just about more than anyone I know. I remember one along these lines, “Friends are the family you get to choose.”

So maybe choose new and better family. Find more positive people in which to spend time, have conversations, and where you can expand your horizons.

Thank you for reading my post!
