Let them go! But before you do, do a self-evaluation.

in #life6 years ago


If they don't want to stay, let them go. 

If their partnership is detrimental to your life, let them go. 

If your continuous stay is causing you harm, walk away. 

Do not allow anybody or organization drain the life out of you just because you are too scared to quit. People endure all manner of abusive relationships, harsh working conditions, etc,  because they are afraid of uncertainties. 

However, always have this at the back of your mind, "if you don't learn to dig a little further, you may never discover your precious stones." 

Most importantly, before you start complaining, be very sure you are not the reason behind the problems. 

A lot of us might never have found great treasures in life if we did not learn to *drop them like a hot potato* (walk out of abusive relationships).

There are some great points you make here, we tend to make excuses for those around us being toxic, this can be due to personal relationships with them, be it lover, family, friend.

We need to be able to recognize toxicity and detach from it as it does us harm. this can mean going against the grain of social norms and cultural accepted practices. However, it is our right to choose how we want to be treated.

I wrote a atricle on Detaching from Toxicity a while ago, i feel it compliments the points you make here.

These days people rather stay in something abusive either because it's beneficial or because they feel they are securing their future, how wrong they are.
Amazing one here @ogoowinner early morning one too 😀😀

Yes, preach it!! Toxic people...there comes a time in the garden of life when you have to do the weeding. Life lesson article...I like it.

You are so onpoint !

An old wise man once said: "Throw the love away, if it comes back, it was yours from the beginning"

The uncertainty of what's out there most times makes people hold on to what they've got, people would rather be in an abusive relationship or job situation than in no relationship at all, so until we come to the realization that we're better and deserve better we'll keep settling.

I love your post. It's inspiring.

Yes, walk away. That truly helps at times for a bunch of reason. Oh, I love to sing and dance, too. You seem to be a great writer here. Keep up the good work on Steemit. Beautiful & Bright.
