This is Episode 4 of Good Morning, Bae! This episode is dedicated to Lisa Left Eye Lopez 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿and is entitled, "Love + Other Drugs". For all the people who have had metaphorical smoke and then FIRE in their relationships. 🔥 . . . . . What I am referring to is when we get into relationships that become destructive. Not only of personal property but our energy, values, time, and future success in other areas of their lives. Yet they persist in these relationships! WHO GUILTY? 👀 Bxtch, me too! 🤣🤣🤣. I can't think of someone who ~hasn't~ felt their time was wasted once in a relationship. But some of us hold on MUCH longer. Some of us can't recall a time where we weren't in a relationship full of incidents *thinking emoji* #callourselvestrynafixit #tellinyoselfudontcomefromafamilyofquitters . . . . Dr. Gabor Mate calls addiction, "Something that you know has long term risks but you persist in the habit anyways." What many of us wont admit is that love is a drug. 💔💉💊 (They do studies on love addiction, bae. It's just as strong (if not stronger) w similar chemical affects on the brain. Forreal. Google it.)🤔🤔🤔 #WhyWeAintTalkAboutThisIn #DARE . . . . We start to recognize certain signs like smoke signals, or indications of a persons greater potential to be destructive to their partner. Because these characteristics exist in both men AND WOMEN!! Yet hardly anyone talks about what it looks like in Black men & women. 👩🏽🏭👨🏿🏭 . . How to purge yourself from the toxicity? The Link for this weeks episode is in the LinkTree! . . . . Bae, I hope that your week is going intentionally. . I hope you're taking back what your week is supposed to look like. And your life. . I pray you find the energy to guide yourself and those around you into a more loving, and healthier existence. I hope that you pursue your healing + wholeness w a voracious appetite. Praying you pour out the contents of your heart. . . and only make space for compassion, creativity and courage. . -Tae . #love #addiction #GaborMate #healing #goodmorningbae #wmonmedia #selflove #selfcare #blackgirlmagic #blackwomen #inspiration (at Los Angeles, California)
