Valerie's Life Motto

I’ve learned to live with this motto:
Life is 10% of what happens to you 90% how you react.

Cut off toxic people

I’ve learned to cut myself a break when I need one without feeling guilty ... and necessarily cut toxic people out of my life ... and of course one day at a time 💜
