Love from, Florence Grace

No, I'm not just quoting a Britney Spears song.  I'm genuinely asking the question "Don't you know that you're toxic?" It's a genuine question that I wish I had the effort to ask to so many people.  I know far too many people who bring nothing positive to my life. No meaning, nothing special, nothing worthwhile. They bring stress, pain, drama, negativity. Combine that all together and you have toxic .  So if I feel this way about so many people, why haven't I asked them exactly why they behave in this way? Well, I'll tell you the simple truth of the matter- I can not be bothered. Really, well and truly can't be bothered.  I'm 20 years old now. I left school two years ago. I had hoped that the nasty, bitter behaviour I encountered so much in school would be left behind with education, but I could not have been more wrong. Apparently, not everyone grows up when they leave school. Apparently life continues just the s...

We all have them in our lives- toxic people . 'Friends' who make us miserable, even when we may not realise it. So I've compiled one of my favourite kinds of posts- a gif filled list- to help you realise if someone in your life is toxic and you need to cut them loose or not.  1) They leave you feeling stressed out. You should feel happy and chilled out when you're with great people. It's okay for you to fall out with friends and occasionally feel upset after leaving them, but if you always  feel stressed out after an encounter with this person, it's probably time to cut them loose.  2) They never do anything for you. But you always find yourself doing things for them, running around after them, helping them out. It should be a two way thing where you're both willing to help each other!  3) They hurt your feelings. Sometimes unintentionally, sometimes intentionally . And it sucks. No real friend would do that, and a real fri...

Today on Twitter the latest trend throwing out some pretty humorous tweets was "#TypeOfPeopleIAvoid". This inspired me for today's post, and I thought I'd make use of being able to use more than 140 characters and share with you the type of people I avoid!  1) Negative people. Whilst I do like a good whine now and again, I am a pretty positive person. I believe in myself, in all the things I do and things I am capable of doing in future and so on. So I can't stand  being around people who are constantly negative about everything, be it about themselves, about other people or about something else entirely. Life is too short to be so miserable all the time!  2) Anti-feminists. If you don't believe in feminism, if you slag it off or act misogynistic or in a similar manner, I will not be spending my time with you. Feminism is a very real thing that is still desperately needed every single day. If you think otherwise, remove yourself from m...
