5 things I keep telling myself to live a non-toxic life

Let your peace of mind comes first in your priority. Cut off go of everything that makes you unable to peacefully sleep at night. Your best friend of 10 years who betrayed you, that mistake you can’t forgive yourself for, that anxiety of being perfect, that unstable relationship where you have been wondering for years where you stand. Whether it be a person or a situation, let it go.

Everyone does not need to be your friend. As people are great influences in your life, learn to keep the balance between “you don’t have to be liked by everyone” and “you can’t live by yourself and only yourself.” The famous “Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind,” is a fallacious mentality. Those who matter SHOULD mind, if they don’t, then why are you still with them?

The key is choice. You know better than anyone what is good for you and what is not.  The people, the movies you watch, the music you listen to, the food you eat. The way you live your life is your choice, even if sometimes it doesn’t seem that way due to external factors but my dear, that’s just life. There are some things you can’t control, but your reaction to everything? that we can control.

Go do the things that you want and get out of things that is bothering you. Swipe left to things that are good for you, swipe right to things that are not. If for some reason, you’re staying because it’s something you need, there is always a way out, find it. Do something about it.

Only open your doors to things that are healthy for you. Right from the start, you know when something is. The signs are there, you just have to look.You are not stupid, you’re just emotional.

“It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.” - Nicholas Sparks

Allow me to be a mess for a little longer, allow me to complain and whine for a bit. Don’t tell me it makes me weak, tell me it’s okay, tell me I will heal.

I wish I wasn’t such a dreamer. I’ve ruined this life for myself.

strength is allowing yourself to need another being. strength is the act of love at the least deserving instant for the least deserving person. strength is the composure kept as those you care for seem to do everything in their power to hurt you. strength is then finding the will to let go. strength is sticking to your decision at your most vulnerable times. strength is trust, trusting someone new. & strength is in fact starting this cycle again, knowing that in being strong you may feel to be at your very weakest.

Why do you think I built a fortress around me? It was never to keep you out, it was to keep the monster in.

My strength is not measured by the burdens I carry alone, nor by my silent struggles. Rather, it is measured in the joys I share, the hardships I seek assistance with, the tears I cry for others, and the nights I keep speaking with those who are dear to me, aiding them and receiving aid in return. My strength is not in being able to go it alone- but in recognizing I need help and friendship and then seeking it out.

Ghosts don’t haunt us. That’s not how it works. They’re present among us because we won’t let go of them.

It would have been so easy to go back to. So easy to relapse into it. So simple. It would almost feel like going home. To let it consume you. To let it take over. To give into it. It was only a small part of you that stood up and said ‘no’. That said, ‘you’re better than this.’ That said, 'choose happiness. Even if it’s hard. Even if it’s the hardest choice you’ve ever had to make.’

Now, in the midst of my own struggles, I often compare my self to the vastness of the ocean, the murkiness of the sea. I think of how far down I am sometimes and it terrifies me. I have fought my way to the shore and away from the life I was once drowning in, but there’s still an aching in my chest for the meaning to it all. Tears flow and I can’t hold them back any longer. They flow into a sea of all I’ve been longing for. I take a breath and close my eyes and go back in time. My thoughts are like a storm, a hurricane even. I cling to the shore, to the solid ground I’ve found. I pray I don’t get swept away in all that I know. I’ve been restless for quite sometime now, like I said before it’s like there are waves always breaking somewhere inside of me.
