TOXIC POSITIVITY

No-one ever starts a relationship thinking “let’s fall in love and project our insecurities and past traumas onto each other”.

The start of a relationship is exciting, it’s exhilarating. Our hearts skip a beat when we see each other we can’t get enough of them. Then somewhere along the line, we find ourselves fighting about things that don’t matter. Molehills become mountains and emotions start to run high. We find ourselves asking, “How did we get here?” Should you love someone so much where it kills you? Is this real love?

Toxic relationships are hard. Whether a romantic lover, friend, colleague or a family member, it doesn’t matter. The insults, judgements, and snide remarks start eating away at our confidence. Toxicity drains the life out of us. It prevents us from being the best version of ourselves. We become lethargic, tired, and even insecure. It’s exhausting. I've found myself in a cycle of toxic relationships and it wasn’t until I started to look at myself and question the role I played, did my life start to change for the better.
