We become like the people we surround ourselves with most often. CHOOSE CAREFULLY! Not all energy is good energy.
If in life we are surrounded by death, then in the health of our intellect we are surrounded by madness.
We're all surrounded by words like air, and we all need them even though they are often invisible, just like air.

We are surrounded by story.
