Melissa:
I would say that as long as they are just supportive. I need to have that constant support around me. If at any time they aren’t supportive then, it really makes it difficult. I have to have, you know, positive people around me all the time and, you know, have them trust my choices.

If I have people that are maybe not trusting in what I am doing then, it makes it really hard and it makes me feel like I have to explain myself and it just takes a lot of energy out when I should be focusing on me and trying to make myself better.
