Some days I didn’t want to go to work. I didn’t like the office politics, which were at every company I’ve been at. There were incompetent, mean, and unmotivated people that wanted to sabotage my projects, take credit, or just waste time. Yet I’d still do it again if I could turn back the clock

And we all need friends who love us unconditionally, no matter what, with no shame. I’m glad to have friends who understand.And I’m here for any friends
