Humans are social animals.

Our peers influence us a lot — good and bad.

My best relationships and friendships fueled my growth and happiness like a bottle of Helium fuels floating balloons and Mickey Mouse voices.

The ex who breaks your heart without batting an eye. Humans can inflict a lot of pain once you make yourself vulnerable and let them in.
