“Relationships, be they friendships or romantic, are supposed to add to our lives, not take away from them. If you find yourself feeling drained as a result of the people you’re surrounded with, it’s time to reevaluate and focus more on what it means to be good to yourself rather than everyone else.”— Olessia Kantor, thoughtcatalog.com
“I feel unspeakably lonely. And I feel—drained. It is a blank state of mind and soul I cannot describe to you as I think it would not make any difference.”— Anne Sexton, amazon.com
