Healing from Hurt: Choosing Whose Opinions Matter

Be diligent, be cutthroat, be real and ask yourself: who am I going to choose to be vulnerable with, and who am I going to allow to give me labels, to reflect back to me who I am in the world today and who's gonna treat my thoughts and feelings with tender care, with love and appreciation?
