Having to walk away from a toxic relationship isn't really easy especially when you've put more than enough effort into the relationship and yet is not working but then what could more important than our peace of mind and self respect,
Any thing , any person or any action affecting our peace of mind should be totally eliminated, no matter the gold it presents to the table.
Unfortunately for me, Ive been a victim to a toxic relationship which didn't end well with me or my mental health.
Despite the effort, strength I put forward it was never working ,
At a time out both parents were involved yet the toxicity increased and things weren't moving ,
In such situations I place my inner peace in front first before anything though it affected me .
At the first two months of breakup, I thought about going back, I felt like I could have endured a little more longer but something in me kept saying
"girl you did the perfect thing, you don't have to overthink".
About a year or two after, I recognized that I've made a very nice decision to walk away, I regained my normal beauty and I felt alive without feeling the need to impress another or make another feel very comfortable.
Walking out from a toxic relationship might seem very difficult and heartbreaking but as long as it for your inner peace, is worth it.
I do tell my friends that breaking free from a toxic relationship isn't painful but leaving all your efforts, strength, dreams behind the toxic relationship is more painful,
Thinking about those wasted years, those things you didn't achieve because the person didn't approve of it and so much more is enough to break a person down but then one thing is for sure, "nothing is more important than my inner peace, if is affecting my inner peace negatively then is not worth my time and strength,
I need to walk away"
I've learnt to build a healthy relationship not just for me but for my partner as well,
After a month or two I analyze the relationship very well and check it is worth moving on or breaking down to avoid another wasted years or wasted efforts.
In conclusion,
Putting my inner peace in the front Line is not being selfish, is the act of protecting yourself from harm.
Always remember that anything that affect your peace of mind affect everything in you and around you, so ask yourself
"is these relationship Worth my peace of mind?"
