"How many times have you let go of you, in order to hold on to someone who is the reason you are no longer you in the first place? Self sabotage also comes in the form of holding onto what doesn't deserve to be kept, especially if it's to the detriment of your peace." ~ Billy Chapata
This is what a toxic relationship feels like. What appalls me the most is that it only takes one person to make you feel this worthless, to yank out all the goodness you once believed in, and to poison all your passions and dreams.
For anyone who needs to hear this:
Don't let anyone EVER make you believe your feelings and your pain and your needs are invalid, or that "it's just you" and you should struggle through them alone.
True, misunderstandings and mistakes happen, and what may be toxic to one person may not be toxic to the other, but anyone who keeps dropping you down that dark loathsome pit and - instead of trying to work with you to pull you up - just continues to leave you dangling there alone is not worth whatever good times you once had with them.
So stop with the self sabotage, let go of what (or who) no longer deserves to be held on to, and welcome the return of your peace.
As someone once said, it is far better for you to adjust your life to their absence than to adjust your boundaries [and values] to accommodate their disrespect.
Be true to yourself and do what's best for you. ❤️
