We end up in toxic relationships because we don't stand up for ourselves early on when we see red flags. We let them slide because we fear losing the person. How long do you let disrespect & neglect go? Avoid people who mess with your head. Avoid people who intentionally say things that they know will hurt you.

Worth It
So many time, victims of toxic relationships are made to believe that their pain is the norm in all relationships. So many times it takes years for them to actually realize the truth and another few years to escape that toxic relationship. And when they escape, they need someone to hold them and teach them their real worth again. To tell them that they are worth more than the pain and abuse. Our little Ming experiences a similar thing. Let's see how he deals with it.Complete
Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Complete

Tangled Up
"I was holding onto him thinking the pain was worth it, my hands and heart ached trying to keep something which killed me not so softly. But as I started to let go of him, my soul felt lighter. And my heart? It'll take it's own time.", she gave a soft smile. You came into my life, Making it colourful than it was, You made me feel good, Like a blooming flower. But just like every season, This season changed too, You left me like a withering flower, Making me drown in my own pain. My mind still thinks about you, My heart still hurts, Don't want someone to mend it now, I can't give the same love back. Love is complex, funny and confusing.
