Weve all been there.

Weve done things that are regrettable and completely out of character.

An ugly side of ourselves that we never knew we had has been caught in the mirror.

Its scary to think of what were capable of when pushed too far.

But thats how it is with toxic relationships.

All they want to do is tell you that youre wrong.

Dont let this bravado fool you, though.

Theyll then make you feel special for a while.

They may even go overboard with their affections towards you.

But time is ticking on the doomsday clock, and sooner or later, itll blow.

That isnt to say that all good relationships are plain sailing, of course.

Especially when they seem to come out of nowhere.

Know thatthere is no need to tolerate this.

You dont have to work through this.

As hard as this may be to stomach,you are not a bad person for giving up.

In this life, sometimes thats the only thing you could do.

Moving forward can be painful, but its something we all must endure.

If that spark has gone, then its gone.

Saying goodbye is not a crime.

Its time to set yourself free.
