1. If someone repeatedly proves to you that they're vile and undeserving of your time, remove them from your life and don't look back. You'll be better off - I promise.
2. There is a way to maintain brutal honesty without being brutal. The older I become, the more sensitivity and grace become necessary.
3. Quality is more important than quantity, This stands true for things and people.

5. You really are what you eat - make conscious decisions with everything you put in your body.
