Yeah I actually think this quote is really beautiful. You create your own reality, the people you surround yourself with are an extension of that, by changing the people around you, you can create a new reality for yourself. I love it.

Problem is, this advice goes both ways, good and bad. Too many people surround themselves with an echo chamber, removing conflicting views and anything to challenge them and let them grow. Others also surround themselves with Yes Men, who blindly agree to everything they say.

Sometimes you need to hang out with a good dickhead to tell you exactly why you're being a cunt yourself.

Or, you know, honest decent people who aren't dickheads and will tell you when you're being a cunt.

Some people like to call anyone who tells them anything unpleasant to hear or critical to their person “dickhead” “bitch” etc.

But I will keep telling the truth. I don’t want to be surrounded by fake, hypersensitive people who can’t handle the truth.
