Ending any kind of relationship is hard.
Whether it be a relationship with a partner, or with a friend.
It’s all painful, heartbreaking, and frustrating all in the same token.
So what happens when the individuals involved in this relationship grow in separate directions and one of you refuse to accept who they are now?
In my experience, the arguments began. The resentment for one not taking the time to get to know who you are now, and for refusing to accept who you’ve become or why.
I was left feeling as if I was this terrible human being because I did not fit into their world any longer. Because they could not agree with the fact that I would not conform to be who they expected me to be.
There was one thing I was not going to do though… change who I was becoming, or the path that I was on. I was beginning to FINALLY like myself. I was starting to look forward to my future. I was not allowing others to dictate my happiness and who I was.
That’s when I realized what was really happening.
All of my life I had forced myself to conform to others. I always put their happiness above my own. And when I finally started putting myself first, they couldn’t handle it.
So I challenge you, with the new year approaching, to set a New Years Resolution that has nothing to do with physical health. Work towards your mental health. I can promise everything will fall into place, while the toxic things (or people) will fall out.
