I think we've all been there. I know I have numerous times. Whether it be because of the illusion of normalcy or the comfort of safety, toxic relationships always take so much out of us. They start small—little red flags we ignore because we’re invested or hopeful. It feels easier to rationalize the bad moments than to face the truth that this isn’t healthy. Over time, though, these small compromises pile up, and before we know it, we’ve lost a sense of who we are.

Toxic relationships thrive on control, manipulation, and emotional imbalance. They can make us question our worth, our sanity, and our strength. What’s worse is how subtly they creep into our lives. It’s easy to convince ourselves that it's just a rough patch or that things will change. But the reality is, toxic dynamics rarely improve without significant change from both sides.

We get hooked by promises of love, moments of clarity, and fleeting glimpses of what we wish it could be. It’s a cycle that plays with our emotions—just enough affection to keep us there, just enough toxicity to keep us off balance.

It’s hard to break away because part of us believes we deserve this, or that we can fix it, or that maybe this is as good as it gets. But the truth is, it never is. The longer we stay, the more damage is done. And the deeper the wound, the harder it becomes to heal.

Recognizing that you're in a toxic relationship is the first step, but the hardest part is walking away. Letting go of the fantasy and embracing the reality that you deserve more.

I've been there, I know.

I wanted to interrupt my daily routine and share this with you!!

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day!!

Every year on September 10th, we mark World Suicide Prevention Day. This day shines a spotlight on a critical issue, aiming to reduce the stigma around talking about suicide and to increase awareness about how we can prevent it.

The importance of World Suicide Prevention Day lies in its goal to save lives. More than 703,000 people die by suicide annually worldwide. That’s about one person every 40 seconds!!

Celebrating this day is crucial because it reminds us of the power of hope and action. It shows that by coming together and speaking openly about mental health and suicide, we can break down barriers.

The day encourages understanding, compassion, and support, making it clear that suicide can be prevented with the right actions. It’s about creating a world where fewer people feel so alone that they consider suicide as their only option.

It seriously takes 5 minutes of your day to bring the smallest shimmer of joy in someone sufferings life. You never know the impact you hold.

Please help me spread the awareness!!
