A toxic relationship is one where negativity, control, and emotional harm outweigh love, respect, and support. It’s a connection that drains your energy, undermines your confidence, and often leaves you questioning your worth. For me, toxic relationships weren’t just in friendships or romantic partnerships—they existed within my own family. I had family members who tried to belittle my achievements, not because I wasn’t doing well, but because they couldn’t confront their own insecurities. At first, I didn’t understand why their words and actions felt so heavy, but through reflection and watching videos that exposed these dynamics, I realized the toxicity wasn’t my fault. It was their inability to celebrate my growth without feeling threatened. Cutting these relationships out of my life was one of the hardest yet most liberating decisions I’ve ever made. And in doing so, I discovered that life after toxicity is brighter, filled with room for genuine achievements, self-love, and peace. Toxic relationships can feel like they define you, but walking away proves that they don’t have to.
