if you’re thinking of going back to a toxic relationship, or keep going back and leaving continuously, this is your reminder not to do that, especially if it’s affecting your other relationships and friendships. don’t fight for someone that hurts you and disregard those that want the best for you. it isn’t romantic. it’s not true. it’s not cute. it’s not passionate. it’s sad and unhealthy and awful and tiring, and you’re stronger than that. the cycle won’t end. they won’t change. and even though you miss them, however terribly, you have to walk away. you go back and you’re making it seem like no big deal. you go back and your word starts to mean nothing. you go back and you’re part of the problem. you aren’t “fighting for them” or “giving everything you’ve got.” you’re draining yourself for someone that doesn’t care. you’re distancing yourself from real love for someone that doesn’t adore you like you should be adored. you deserve better than that. stop succumbing to the loneliness and renewing the pain, because it will go away if you leave it alone long enough.
