Gwen West

> "*You don't get to choose your DNA. You choose the people you surround yourself with and the affect they have on your life. You gravitate towards the people who make you feel comfortable and lost that for a while. I felt like I didn't deserve to be happy because everyone around was suffering. But DO NOT for a second BLAME ME for how screwed up your life is. I'm the only one that was here for you but now you're completely isolated so thank you for making me see how selfish you really are.*"
