Always be a work-in-progress.

Admit it, we all been through an encounter with that one particular friend that will always put us down. No matter how much you deny it, you had that one friend in your life that always wants to put you down. They want to make themselves feel so good inside all the while putting our self-esteem down in the mud. What they want is your life. They want that honest simplicity of things; the pure, uncomplicated simple life of a person who has a decent job, a home to go to after each tiring day, and the love of the people that person cares for the most. That’s what they want. And they think they can’t get it so they push you down. 

Because you can’t replace that love and that warmth with something as superficial as going on a shopping spree. So if you keep getting pushed down, keep your head up. Don't waste your time on them, Be thankful that they are out of your life, GONE. In the matter of fact, you should thank them for letting you grow.
