I need to surround myself in positivity. Being empathetic can be exhausting when absorbing negativity.

I realize that persevering through challenges can build strength and endurance but lately I just need a break. I overdosed on negativity last year and I still get bombarded with it into this year. I've purged some toxic people and elements from my life. Yet I still have a fear of desertion and rejection that lingers out of past experiences. I know that I shouldn't have this fear as it's irrational and self destructive in a way and I'm working to conquer this dilemma. I also need to let go and stop clinging too tightly onto certain expectations and be patient. I pray that I continue to prosper with my social life and pursuing my true passion or life purpose. I just want some peace and happiness not just for me but for everyone even though I realize the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I like to dream and tell myself that I am an awesome person that deserves other awesome people in my life, happiness and good fortune. We can manifest our own reality by our thoughts and I need to keep my wheels firmly planted on the track that will lead me forward.
