“Toxic Relationship”

Toxic Relationship — Pinterest

Have you ever been, or even still in a toxic relationship? This is a common thing nowadays for us, as a teenager or what so called adolescence phase. I do admit that having a toxic relationship is harder than we thought. “Just let them go!” they said.

— “oh how I wish it was that easy.”

The fact is, it wasn’t. There are so many unresolved reasons that we can’t control. Some might say “you’re just blinded by a temporary love” well, I couldn’t say that is true, neither could I say that it is wrong. I knew it was love, but love could be risen in a wrong way, right?

The most important thing is to know yourself, deeper and more. When there is something that you think is wrong, say it. Buried thoughts are the worst, they burden or even kill you.

Realized things like that, the first step that you can take is to communicate it, let go of your pride for a while, this is for your good. Because no matter what, communication is the key to every relationship. You shouldn’t stay in a toxic or even abusive relationship because you believe that they will change for you, or you can change them. You have to admit that a person could never change anyone’s behavior unless they wanted to, it can’t be forced.

Secondly, you have to understand that it would hurt you when you finally decided to let them go. It would be hard, real hard, but I promise that you will be healed soon. Give yourself a break, take as many as you like, believe me it’s only hard on the first stage. Have you ever heard about the “time heals all wounds” theory? I put my soul on it, as the key to my peaceful head.

Thirdly, never let things destroy you. We, sometimes, might be clouded by the fact that we hate ourselves because our mind tells us to. When there’s someone who came into your life and it made you lose yourself, all the hate with a consciousness that you poured into your life, you have to realize that you deserve someone better. Someone who willingly loves you no matter the circumstances. Remember that loving someone isn’t enough when they don’t give you the same energy as you did. Know your worth, you are loved by many.

Last but not least, give yourself a try. When you lose all the joys and happiness, you have to understand that you are the one who can control your own mind and act. Be gentle, it might be tough when you started it but remember what Roy T Bennett said:

“If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down” — The Light in the Heart

So, let go of your toxic relationship. Love yourself more. Things will get better anyway.

Here’s a gift to cheer you up! < 3
