Breaking Up Should Be Easy To Do
Several years ago, I wrote a piece about the importance of breaking up with friends when that friendship has run its course, or has perhaps detracted from your happiness rather than contributed to it in some way.

Resistance
“Most of us have two lives. the life we live, and the unloved life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.”
