two girls walking down a path in the woods

--steps Once upon a time, in a bustling city, there lived a young woman named Emily. She had a circle of friends who seemed fun and exciting at first, but as time went on, she realized they were leading her down a path of negativity and trouble. Feeling isolated, Emily decided to distance herself from them. Though initially lonely, she found solace in her own company and discovered new hobbies that brought her joy. Eventually, she met like-minded individuals who uplifted her and shared her values. In the end, Emily realized that being alone was far better than being surrounded by toxic company.
