THAT RELATIONSHIP IS NOT FOR YOU.

If you are in a relationship that doesn’t allow you to shine, then it’s not a relationship for you. You deserve to feel loved, safe, supported, and cherished. This message is a reminder that you should never settle for anything less than what you deserve in a relationship. It’s important to recognize when a relationship is toxic and when it’s time to let go. Toxic relationships can be damaging to your mental and emotional health, and they can prevent you from reaching your full potential.

Loyalty is often a reason why people stay stuck in toxic relationships. However, when loyalty comes with a diminishing of the self, it’s not loyalty, it’s submission. You should never have to submit to someone else’s toxic behavior. You have the right to be genuinely happy in any relationship, so feeling safe, valued, and loved is essential. A safe relationship makes you feel supported and cherished, and it allows you to be your true self.

It’s important to recognize the signs of a toxic relationship and to let go of it when necessary. Toxic relationships can be destructive and can prevent you from reaching your full potential. You should never feel like you don’t deserve someone who can love you for exactly who you are. You deserve to be with someone who encourages you to be the best version of yourself every day.

In a healthy relationship, both people are in touch with a lively, open, and vulnerable side to themselves that welcomes new experiences. Honesty and integrity are essential, and deception and duplicity should be avoided. Strive for an equal exchange of ideas, take responsibility for your own actions, and don’t try to control your partner. Remember that you will always be two separate people, and don’t overstep boundaries that diminish attraction.

Supporting the things that light your partner up is also important. Never stop supporting and encouraging your partner to be the most alive and to reach their full potential. When someone truly loves and supports you, they challenge you, stand beside you when you need them, and give you the space you need to roam free and grow as a person.

Lastly, you should never settle for a relationship that doesn’t allow you to shine. You deserve to feel loved, safe, supported, and cherished. Recognize the signs of a toxic relationship and let go of it when necessary. In a healthy relationship, both people are in touch with a lively, open, and vulnerable side to themselves that welcomes new experiences. Remember to support and encourage your partner to be the most alive and to reach their full potential.
