WALK AWAY

 

We tend to stay in toxic relationships since we tell ourselves that it's hard to let someone go,but it's not as hard as we think-we just choose not to cut them off.

You see,we are so attached to this person and we are so used to having them, not being there anymore doesn't sit well with us even if they cause us pain,we choose to have them in our lives,even if they become toxic to our hearts,we hold on to all the instances when they were not bad for us and we use that as an excuse not to leave them.It is self-destructive,this constant justificatory cycle that we find ourselves in-making excuses for their actions,just because leaving them would cause us pain,rather than focusing  on the fact that having them in our lives isn't any better.Yes they make us happy but if the pain they cause is as much-then we must let them go.

We hold on to people who hurt us just because they make us happy,and that is what doesn't make sense about us.If you're old enough to understand what actions bring you happiness and what actions don't- then you are old enough to tell someone,"Listen,I don't think it'll work out between us or I refuse to accept this poor treatment.
