Time

Being picky about what I spend my time on- is new for me. I used to always think about the other side. The friend in front of me, the one who needs someone to listen. Even if I knew it would affect me later. Now I know better. Saying "no" doesn’t mean I am a bad person. Saying "no" is ok if you know it will "cost" you. Cost you with your energy, emotions, and thoughts. The things we need to protect the most.
