This is not a message that encapsulates the idea of a relationship today. This is not a message trying to convince you to believe in God. This is not a message about feminism nor from a feminist perspective. This is not a message meant to place unattainable expectations on today’s men in a relationship.
Let’s be honest: this generation’s idea of a relationship can be pretty pathetic. However, not all relationships are harmful. It happened to me to be. This is simply a message of empowerment, from one female to another, full of important reminders that we may forget to apply in our lives; Maybe because we’re the type of person who takes on too much from others for fear of losing them completely.
But what we should be most afraid of losing as a result is ourselves. I am a survivor of a toxic relationship, and you can be too. These are the words I wish I had been given as advice before I embarked on my first serious relationship. I can’t help but think I wouldn’t have stayed as long as I did if I had received and implemented this advice.
Love has no rule book. Love has no instruction manual. Although love is difficult to accept, it is either a success or a failure. However, the cracks it can leave on your heart are permanent. From one female to another, here are thirteen powerful reminders to cling to on your journey to find love. write them down. Hang it above your desk. Hold them accountable.
- Until a toxic man heals himself, he will be toxic to every woman who tries to love him.
As hard as it is to hear, you can’t change someone who doesn’t see a problem with their actions. A man will not behave properly unless he wants to. Don’t lose sleep over things beyond your control or jurisdiction. Leaving him may be his greatest lesson and greatest loss. Remember: God is the only one who can change someone. I can promise you this: Leave this in His hands, and your fears will melt away.
