“But I need to feel beautiful and holy things around me, always: music, mystery cults, symbols, myths. I need it, and I refuse to give it up… . That’s my fatal flaw.”
— Hermann Hesse, Demian
Toxic Friendships
A friendly reminder that a real friend will not:
- Lie about you/to you for their own amusement
- Spread false information about you to anyone
- Share your secrets/personal information with other people
- Make hurtful comments about your life/work/relationships
- Try to manipulate you in any way, shape or form
- Demand that you put in extra effort in the relationship while not holding up their end of the bargain
- Use you as their personal therapist
- Make you feel like it’s your responsibility to “fix” them

In Victoria, 200 kilometres west of Melbourne, over 260 trees sacred to the Djap Wurrung peoples - including a traditional birthing tree - have been flagged to be bulldozed in preparation for a $42 million upgrade to the Western Highway.
The plans will duplicate 12.5 kilometres of the highway from Buangor to Ararat and reduce travel time on the route by an estimated two minutes.
The Victorian government subsequently altered the plans for the duplication route in February but campaigners said that it would still impact on culturally significant trees.
Demonstrators set up three camps on the land last month in an attempt to stop roadworks.
An emergency application was also lodged to protect the trees under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act.
“These beautiful trees include an 800-year-old tree that has seen over 50 generations born inside of a hollow in her trunk and a 350-year-old directions tree that has been shaped and resembles a woman,” the Djab Wurrung Embassy website says.
“This area is part of the song line, the series of scared trees and artefacts we find here regularly prove its significance.”
