Toxicity Cleanup

There are always those people in our lives who bring you down, have more drama in their morning coffees than an episode of the Young and the Restless.  No matter what you say to them they aren't listening they just keep consuming everything around them into their soap opera.  It's not necessarily their own fault, I mean perhaps it is because that is what we constantly are focusing on is all the negative, the improvements, the better schooling, the more money, the do better than the person next to you, the constant need to have more and do more.   Technically they might not even know any better.  They might not even have a clue that their drama class has become your daily routine.
The point is not only that it is super annoying but it is also extremely toxic to have those negative people in your life. At some point we have to relieve ourselves from their stress and negative consumption and let go.  Let their drama effect only themselves.  It is unhealthy to hoard onto negative feelings, assumptions, emotions, people.  There is a time to say goodbye and do a cleanup in your life.

At the end of the day when you're doing your cleanup you need to ask yourself this: does this person have a clue on what is going on in my life, does this person know the last time I needed them, does this person know what I did last weekend, does this person have the right to continue being in my life for only the soul purpose of me constantly being their soundboard and receiving end of their endless issues?

We all have shit in our lives, we all have stories to tell, we all have had some drama in our lives that we may not have wanted others to know about.  That is what friends are for, they're there to help pick you back up, wipe your tears, fix your scratches, patch up your life when you need it but they're also there for a soundboard.  They're there for you when you need it and not just when they need it.  Convenience doesn't exist in real friendships.
