Pick them wisely

People inspire you, or they drain you – pick them wisely.

Let go of all the toxic people in your life

Until you let go of all the toxic people in your life,
you will never be able to grow into your fullest potential.
Let them go so you can grow.

Some people just act like they are trying to help you

Those who loved you unconditionally

Spend your time with those who loved you unconditionally,
not with those people who loved you only in your good times.

A single moment of misunderstanding...

A single moment of misunderstanding is so poisonous that it makes us forget the hundreds of lovable moments we’ve spent together within a minute.

Taking care of yourself

You are allowed to terminate toxic relationships.
And you are allowed to walk away from people who hurt you.
You are allowed to be angry and selfish and unforgiving.
You don’t owe anyone an explanation for taking care of yourself.

Alone with my dignity

I would rather be alone with my dignity
than in a relationship that requires me to sacrifice my self-respect.

People who suck the happiness out of you

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.

Removing toxic people from your life

You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn't matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance – you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and “continues” to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.

Toxic people

Sometimes you have to let people go because they are toxic to you. Let them go because they take and take and leave you empty. Let them go because in the ocean of life when all you’re trying to do is “stay afloat”, they are the anchor that’s drowning you.
