Coming in hot with an actual topic of the day. Toxic relationships. I want to take this quote that I posted on Instagram and elaborate a little bit, in hopes of inspiring.
I want you to know that you have the option to “get up from the table if respect is no longer being served.”
I’ve had my fair share of abusive relationships in my life, and each time I was scared to leave or to stand up for myself because I thought it was what I deserved. It’s the lie that is fed to every abuse survivor to keep us small and stuck. I want you to know that you are important and you are NOT small. You have the option to leave the table. If you need help, know that you will find it if you look for it.
This goes for friendships as well. If you have a friend that is constantly disrespecting you, standing you up, not returning your phone calls etc…. bye Felicia. Respect goes both ways, and if you aren’t both mutually exchanging respect, then your relationship needs to be re evaluated.
That’s my PSA for today.
Love & Light,
Crystal
