One thing about romantic relationships- there are a lot of grey areas. There is duality in a lot of the experiences. What lies between his side and her side is the truth. One thing we should remember though is that our truths are different. What we experience shapes us and it is not always easy to come out of a situation. Here of five silent red flags that are not easy to identify especially when we are in love with someone.

Guess what? A Dose of Light has an Instagram page. Follow @_adoseoflight to keep up with the episodes and content. 

Ecstasy love - a feeling that is manipulated and felt as true love but is not. Let's stop saying "love is blind" - because "love" is not the reason we ignore red flags. It all has to do with the issues we struggle with internally that impact how we carry out difficult situations. I wish you happy highs in your relationships - not the kind that this society has depicted as healthy.

Whether you're in an exclusive relationship or not, it is essential to remember you are an individual - with your own desires, needs, beliefs and purpose. Unpopular opinion: your happiness is NOT your partner's responsibility, your growth is NOT your partner's responsibility, and your growth is NOT your partner's responsibility. As much as they can and will affect that - all they can do is support and assist you to their best ability. Remember, YOU need to water your garden to make it green; YOU need to pour the same goodness into your glass. Do It Yourself before expecting it from another.

Separate the person from the situation. It allows you to forgive and focus on yourself. On your healing journey, no one else matters more than you. 

Glowing, growing and going up from any situation is what you deserve. Give yourself that. You got this. 

Some of us have built tall,  blinding walls that are keeping you away from... YOU. That you end up becoming the weapon causing yourself not to proper because you are mentally, emotionally, spiritually, overall internally, caged in. Maybe you're caged in because you need to unlearn and learn you again. That starts with breaking down the mental walls you have built.

Billy Chapata once said, "never undermine the progress you've made because the footprints you see are not big enough to make an impression on where you want to be". 

Through it all, you are blessed. Every mile gave you a lesson; every obstacle gained you strength and every loss gave you clarity.
