You are toxic

You are toxic

Phew

It feels good to get that off my chest

Finally

I don’t know why I never told you years ago

The damage you caused me

Mentally

Emotionally

Making me feel worthless

Making me doubt myself

For years

Two-faced

Narcissist

I never told you

Because I was scared

Scared of you

Scared of what you would say to me

Scared of what you would do to me

One of the happiest days of my life

Was when I decided to cut ties with you

I am happy

Happy that I no longer talk to you

Happy that I no longer have to see you

Happy that we do not live near each other

I am happy that I am happy again

I am happy that the toxicity has been removed from my life

Happy that I no longer care about you

I am happy

    I found this so deeply relatable. Every word felt like something I’ve carried before.. the fear, the silence, the guilt for feeling relief when the connection finally ends. It’s hard to admit when someone has hurt you, especially someone you were supposed to trust. But this felt like taking your power back in the gentlest, strongest way. I’m really proud of you for writing this, and even more proud that you’re happy again. You deserve that. 💛🌻
