The Vampire test
"There is a test to determine whether someone is toxic or nourishing in your relationship with them," writes Austin Kleon. "Here is the test: You have spent some time with this person, either you have a drink or go for dinner or you go to a ball
game. It doesn't matter very much but at the end of that time you observe whether you are more energised or less energised. Whether you are tired or whether you are exhilarated. If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished. The test is almost infallible and I suggest that you use it for the rest of your life. What's really funny is that the test came out in 2014, way before the What We Do In The Shadows film, which features one of my all-time favourite characters, Colin Robinson, a self-proclaimed "energy vampire". Children don't count. Their job is to suck you dry." (Via @austinkleon)
