PSA: Who you keep as a group of friends is like selecting cuts of beef.
You can have a big freezer full of Walmart 70/30 ground beef (distractive drama) or a much smaller refrigerator full of grass-feed, fresh ribeye steaks (symbiotic support). Friends/beef are not all equal.
Choose wisely. You have a limited amount of time on Earth: spend it wisely.
Not everyone competing for your attention deserves it. Learn to say, “No, Thank You.”
By all means, avoid the “Hot Dogs” (bat-shit crazy)!
