If that hurts so much, why can’t you just leave them?
That’s definitely a question for some of you who is confused between Love, Ego, and Bond. That’s okay I used to asked the same question. In my journey through life looking for a peaceful mind, I have experienced some hurtful relationships with my beloved people and that is what we called as toxic relationship. Some of you might be wondering “what the heck is a toxic relationship?”. Guys, you may have experienced it or you are currently in that relationship now but you just don’t realize it. Well it's not easy to see or even realize that you are in a toxic relationship.
So, I'm gonna tell you what a toxic relationship is.
A toxic relationship comes from a toxic person, obviously. Who is considered as toxic person? They might be your lover, friends, even your parents and siblings, they can be considered as toxic person. Yes, blood ties don’t guarantee that you have a good relation. In my journey until now, my toxic person (lol) are a friend and family. It is so damn hard to be close with them.
Okay I’ll start with a friend. She was one of my best friend. We hung out together, laughed together, occasionally have a sleepover together, heck we even tried some bad things together We were so happy back then. And then, I realized something that has been bothering me for a long time. If you read my last article, you’ll know how insecure I am back then. Yes, she told me that I’m ugly, it’s like it is such a bad thing to be myself. And there are load of things she said about me. And I will never forget how she killed my dream. She always try to ’shaped’ others to be have the same mindset as her especially in ‘dating department’. When we were talking about the future she always asks “When do you think we will get married?” to be honest marriage is not something I see in my future but when I told her that she got mad at me. She also has problem about how I never date anyone and that in my age, I have should have been dating someone just like her. How tired.
That was just a short story that make me feel so insecure and hurts. I was insecure of my body, my dreams, and being a woman. It’s like I failed to be a woman, a princess who always live in the romance world. I’m an adult (based on my age) who have never been in a ‘real’ relationship, and I feel so ugly, I was so fuckin insecure back then. So, what did I do at that time? I forced myself to look for a man, live in someone else’s expectation, be someone else, and pretend to be okay when I’m judged. I did all those things to be accepted and keep her as friend.
Let’s move to the 2nd story.
This story comes from my family. Well, I’ll shorten it.
My father have passed away when I was 12. I live with mother, 2 sisters, and a brother. My sisters already have a family at that time.
Me as a young girl who is still learning about the cruel world we live in, and I’ve always been judged, blamed even cursed by my own family. They always forced me to be a ‘good girl’ in the name of religion, but I don’t like it. Hmm actually, it takes 8 years to figure it out. My mom is very very grumpy. When I made one mistake, she cursed at me and make sure that everything is my fault until she felt satisfied, and me? Crying alone and make sure no one knows I was crying. My sisters and my brother, it looks to me they just don’t seem to care about me because they always agree of what my mom said, they don't even bother to ask me if I’m okay, I felt so lonely. I’m just all alone. Someday, on a good day they ask me what it is that I want. Unfortunately, I can’t tell them well, I was so scared. Yes, I was scared of my own family, my mom who gave birth to me. I can’t talk to them, I feel so uncomfortable when I’m with them, it’s like I want to go far away. And yes, it takes me like 8-9 years to realized that.
In 2017 (if I'm not mistaken or forgot), I felt so depressed for like 2-3 months. I don’t have someone to lean on, I was just all alone. Feeling so tired, scared, empty, frustration, mad, and hurt every night, and no one knows about that. In this year, I began to avoid my friend, and you know what she thinks? she thinks that I am a problem, funny? Yep lmao. And then in 2018 when I watched a k-drama called Wise Prison Life (you can read my first article), I dare myself to move on and try to accept everything I have.
So, those are some stories of mine about toxic relationship. This view might change your mindset about toxic person. Because yes, it can come from everyone even your own family.
Hm, i think you already figure it out what the toxic person is. Based on my experience, toxic person is a person who always blaming, cursing, and judging you excessively. Basically, they do violence verbally, physically, etc., it certainly hurts you and disturbs your mental health. What are the benchmarks? It depends on yourself, that's only you know about the limits. So guys, if you're hurt, you are just hurt. Stop pretending to be okay.
Reconciliations? I cut off ties with my friend. I let myself to let it go. I do love her, I like her so much but she hurts me a lot, and I’m tired to be stupid. It takes courage, indeed. And you know what? Now I have many friends who are more ‘healthy’, supportive, understanding and cool. I lost a friend, then I got another one, sometimes you have to believe in the universe guys.
Then how about my family? as the time goes by, my older siblings try to understand what I'm feeling, they become quiet when my mom start to blamed me for something. And yeah, once again I dare myself to be honest to my family. it’s not just once actually, it takes 3 times to say what I want and finally they understand. I had a serious talk with my mom, just the two of us, and yeah we had a deeptalk, she’s telling me about how she feels. And evidently, she also felt what I felt too. So we finally understand of each other minds and hearts.
Ah yes, maybe this one is not a story I experienced first hand, but I’ll just remind you this.
If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, and he/she’d love to cursed, blamed, or even hit you with his/her hands/things or hit you by his/her speech, and it hurts you, leave him/her. It’s not Love anymore, it’s just your ego and fears to be single. You deserve something better guys.
My conclusion is if only that toxic person could be invited to solve problems, why not for peace? But you also have to be able to see the situation and condition of the toxic person. Can they be invited to make peace or not, make sure of that. Because there is some people who still can't accept themselves yet.
Let’s just live in peaceful mind, enjoy some little things, and be happy all the time. ❤️

Olá, pessoal! . Um vídeo de 01 minuto, para pensarmos com carinho. . O futebol feminino brasileiro não pode viver apenas de recursos, tempo ou pessoas; deve ser pensado e trabalhado numa fundamentação de práticas muito contundentes, a saber: . 01. Investimento dos clubes na formação de base, ação profissional e nas formações técnicas. 02. Organização do calendário, com competições nacionais durante o ano (qualificação para competições internacionais). 03. Visão de base técnica e tática (clubes & seleção). 04. Planejamento - jogos contra seleções mais fortes (amistosos e competições preparatórias) 05. Estrutura física e humana. 06. Visão externa do futebol (em consonância com o item 03). 07. Preparação antecipada para as competições internacionais (em especial FIFA Women's World Cup & Olimpic Games). . Estamos regredindo bastante, temos pouco tempo para os Jogos Olímpicos de Tóquio 2020, e a seleção tem de estar, no mínimo, preparada para este desafio. . #GuerreirasDoBrasil • #DareToShine • #BRA • #FIFAWWC • #OlimpicGames • #Tokyo2020 . ⚠️ Curtam as minhas redes sociais ⚠️ ▶️ Facebook ▶️ Twitter ▶️ Instagram . ✔️ Francisco de Assis Silveira: @fasevolution85 . © 2019 Francisco de Assis Silveira.
