Toxic Relationships

Okay in my opinion the most scary words in the dictionary: "Toxic relationship".  There is two reasons I am writing this blog.  The first I met this girl online that went into detail the scope of her toxic relationship. Also second my toxic relationship ex messaged me with the plea "Can we finally be friends?".  Okay boys and girls here it goes my first rant in the blog world.   
Welcome and I would like to tell you all a story.  Now once upon a time in a not so distant past (5 years or so) there was a young and stupid girl that thought most in the world "She needed a man."  So this girl was desperate and was willing to go out with any tom, dick or harry that was willing (not necessarily able).  Searching and hunting, she came across a person that could fulfill that wish of needing a man.  So she pounced and captured this man.  However unknowing to this young girl she was the one that was captured or better phrased trapped.  This relationship turned toxic on day one.  What she thought she wanted really was not what she was getting.  However she was stupid and uninformed on boys (because like many this was her first man).  This man (or better stated a boy pretending to be a man) slowly tore down every ounce of self esteem.  Stating what she did not have every second, stating he wish she was someone else, stating ways she was not pleasing him and diverting his attention to others.  So trying to keep up in pleasing him she rushed things she was not ready for and became someone she no longer knew. She felt she was worthless and no better than a speck of dirt. Finally a bell went off in this girls head.  *DING* *DING* *DING*  "What am I doing?" She screamed to herself.  She quickly began setting things straight.   First Step:  Dump the guy and break off all contact with him.  She was going to take back who she was.  Step two:  Who am I?  and more importantly Who am I without a man?  Step by Step this girl took back her life, took back her independence, and took back her.  
So who is this girl now? ..... Is She back to what she was before the toxic relationship?
Simply this girl is now Happy and Free.  Free to roam and enjoying life.  She is free from all toxic relationships and is better than what she was prior to the toxic relationship.  She finally looks in the mirror and sees the woman she was always meant to be.  She finally loves herself and NO she does not communicate with her ex.  Why should she,  She does not want to go backwards only forwards.  

So moral of the story boys and girls.  Never be in a toxic relationship.  They rip at your soul, your heart and your mind.  Everyone deserves to be happy no matter what.  A relationship should make you feel better about yourself but not necessary to your existence on the planet.  I wrote this to all those out there that needed to know they are not alone.  I wrote this to all those who wanted to know they too can get out and be a better person for it.  Stay Strong Women and Men!!!! Your all worth your weight in gold.
