There are a lot of things that I’ve had the time to think about lately, but toxic relationships seems to be a reoccurring thought. I am no expert but I’ll try to find peace in what I have to say and pray that some of you do as well.
I believe that in my short 20 years on this earth not a single thing has caused me more pain and heartache than the relationships I have allowed myself to keep with toxic people. Some people begin as the most wonderful people to ever grace our lives and we thank God for them every day. We wonder what our life would be like without them and our hearts break at the possibility of losing them. As we get older some of those people are not quite who we thought they were and perhaps at the end of the day they do not have your best interest at heart.
This past year more than any other I have had to make the decision to leave toxic people behind and trust me when I tell you it broke my heart to do it. Behind all of those people were memories of love and happiness but also some of hurt. Behind the people who have become toxic can be best friend, boyfriends, girlfriends, parent figures and even family...that doesn’t make it any easier.
I’m sure people have found me toxic in their own lives and chosen to leave me behind. To be honest I’m okay with that, because at the end of the day who matters is you. You are important. You are precious. YOU are worth it.
This life comes with challenges, some of those beyond our understanding but don’t let people who hurt you make it any more difficult than it needs to be. Surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you.
I’ll leave you with something I tell myself often, “sometimes there are people in our lives who are meant to stay and often there are those only meant to show us part of the way.”
Sending lots of love and {Suzey} sunshine your way....xoxo
