At one time or another we all experience a toxic friendship with someone who simply isn’t good for us. Help rid your life of these toxic people by identifying them. Toxic friends can come in many forms – here are some of the common types:

This miniature ecosystem has been thriving in an almost completely isolated state for more than forty years. It has been watered just once in that time.

The original single spiderwort plant has grown and multiplied, putting out seedlings. As it has access to light, it continues to photosynthesize. The water builds up on the inside of the bottle and then rains back down on the plants in a miniature version of the water cycle.

As leaves die, they fall off and rot at the bottom producing the carbon dioxide and nutrients required for more plants to grow.

Get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Talk to someone new. Learn something new. Do something you’ve never done before. My life changed ever since I convinced myself to try. I could attribute all the greatest moments in my life to the fact that I went out and did it, and didn’t settle for the same old, same old.
