Good Vibes Only

Remember at the beginning of the month I told y'all since I wouldn't be posting every single day like I usually do that I would try to set a smaller, more manageable goal lol. Welp, we're on pace to hit 10 psots this month which when you look at the other months, is actually a lot LOL. Anyways, 2020's almost over...can you believe it? What feels like the shortest and longest year at the same time is almost coming to an end, what a way to start off the new decade am I right? 2020 for most, if not all people has largely been pretty forgettable. I know for me nothing really stands out, tbh I can't even remember anything eventful that happened in 2020. For some, 2020 has been super draining and mentally exhausting, it's been a year where mental health and self-care were really emphasized and brought to light. Whether you're working, in school, with family, with S/O's or friends, you've probably felt that mental fatigue in some sort of capacity this year. Which kinda brings me to the picture of the tweet above...I think this year, along with self-care, I've learned it's okay to be selfish with the people you surround yourself with...cuz time is limited and getting older I don't like the feeling of knowingly wasting time. With quarantine, it's felt like we've had an abundance of time to ourselves...whether it's picking up new hobbies, going on walks, exercising, or maybe a little bit of everything. Something I tried to do was reach out to people during quarantine and just go for walks, I mean there's not much else to do lol, bubble tea and walks is the move. But yeah, old friends, coworkers, homies...I've been going on a lot of walks, hanging out and catching up. As of late, I've just been really careful and cautious with the people and the energy I surround myself with. To put it simply, good vibes only lol. I've been super fortunate enough to meet some people where everything just clicks, it feels like you've known each other for years and you just get each other. You know those friends where you just look at each other and immediately get the joke, or you see them laughing and you know exactly what they're laughing about LOL. I love those friends cuz it just feels so natural and like I said, everything just kinda clicks. I've never been a fan of small talk which is why meeting new people or even dating apps can be super annoying sometimes. But when you meet the right people...and especially me being an introvert too, when you meet the right people who just naturally get you to come out of your shell it's such a dope feeling but it's also something you don't really realize until you sit and think about it. But back to the tweet...2020 has just been so draining and exhausting in so many ways that there really isn't time for people who don't add anything positive to your life...and I don't mean that offensively like if you don't bring anything to the table get away from me lol. It's more like I just don't wanna surround myself with negativity, especially in a year where so much negativity surrounds us as it is. There's that and then there's also just being careful in who you pour yourself out to, and that's not to say that you pour out to other people and give with the sole expectation to receive something back...but at the same time it is something to take note of. Like if you're always pouring out and nobody is filling your cup, you're gonna be drained, so just kinda keeping a mental note of like oh okay I'm always pouring into this person's cup and they're never really doing the same. Again, I don't want it to sound like completely selfish, but it also is a bit of a selfish mindset...I dunno, time and energy are commodities, and 2020 has not been kind to us, so in a way...for me at least, I'm okay with people a little selfish and being selective in who's cups I pour into. Like I said, good vibes only, surrounding myself with cool, chill, easy going and dope ass people. With all that being said, I'll see y'all REALLY soon for the last post of 2020...D-D-D-DEUCESSSSS!!!
