Find the courage you should probably start over.
In a negative environment.
In a never-ending cycle of bad habits.

Kinga Cichewicz
And, my mistake wasnt that I felt overwhelmed or discouraged or trapped.
My mistake was that I thought I had to stay on this particular path, to see this through.
I didnt see how anything would change, so I thought I would just learn to adjust.

I thought that I could find a way to grow even if it was a hostile environment.
But, let me give you a one-word revelation: no.
You do not have to stay.
You do not have to rationalize your reasoning for wanting to leave a toxic situation.
So, take an inventory.
How is your heart these days?
Where is your head at?
Has something been weighing you down?
Are you feeling discouraged by the story that youve found yourself in?
If you are, there is good news.
You do not have to stay in this narrative.
I know it can be hard to walk away.
Youve made a decision for your own wellbeing that it’s crucial that you make some changes.
This will make you look at your priorities.
This will make you examine who youve been and who youve been surrounded by.
Do you like what you see?
If not, find comfort in knowing that a new start is sometimes necessary.
Dont hold onto a past that has no business being a part of your future.
It served its purpose, and now it is time to walk away and move on.
This may mean that youve grown out of old relationships.
It may mean that youve found the strength to push past the comfort zone of your former environment.
It may mean that you have to let go of old habits or past pain.
Accept that these things may no longer be meant for you.
Its not selfish, its vital.
So, find the strength you oughta let go of what hurts.
Find the courage you better start over.
Its the best self-care youll ever try.
