Run Away From Toxic Friends

Can you walk through toxic gas without a mask of some sort? Well, you can, but did you think of the consequences? How it might be harmful? No. A lot of us are exposed to toxic people, that hold you back from what you think you deserve, instead, they put the borders for you, draw the red lines intoxicate your mind into thinking inside the box, and trapping you in it.

It’s only a matter of time before you start losing every ounce of self-esteem; the people you hang out with affect you subliminally, or you might come across their passive aggressiveness at some point that can get into your head and control it for you. Toxic people do not want what’s best for you, nor will they attempt to help others improve in any way, keep in mind, these individuals think that by bringing someone down it pushes them a step forward in life.

As a kid I didn’t know much about people with bad intentions, I grew up thinking that the world was sunshine and daises… until I reached my teenage years, and my entire mentality changed in a way I never thought it would. I sadly started expecting the worse from everyone around me, I became an introvert in my own world thinking that maybe isolation would protect me from my negative surroundings but it somehow always managed to reach me. It took me years to understand the term ‘Toxic People’, and finally I can say that I fully acknowledge the existence of this major part of society and how it can harmfully affect the mental health of each individual.

It can be anyone around you, anywhere, at any time, and your job is to keep an open mind but with boundaries for the people that come into your life thinking that it is okay to not filter the words leaving their mouth, okay to have their resentment controlling their actions. I told myself, listen, your mind is a temple and you can’t have people wrecking it because they feel the need to, control your aura and the energy that comes in and out of it, do not allow malevolent beings to walk around your temple leaving their dirt behind for you to clean up.

So make sure you’re wearing your gas mask everywhere you go, be extra caring when it comes to your mental health, and surround yourself with positive energy that lifts you up rather than toxic energy that might pull you down, way down.
