Toxic Relationships

I am extremely excited about an upcoming project that could launch in November 2021. The project is tied to what I’ve learned from some of the toxic relationships I survived over the years. The best advice I can give you is that if you cannot be your true self around a person then please, for your sake, walk away. Too often, I wasted precious time (a limited resource) on people, places, and situations that did not allow me to be my true, quirky self. Anyone who has ever met me has told me I am honest to a fault and sometimes my own detriment, but I refuse to lie to make someone else comfortable. I am often told I am too nice to be an attorney; however, those people have never seen me do cross-examination. I like to think of my life goal as perfecting a balance of yin and yang, light and dark, water and fire. Actually you know what you get if you put water and fire together? You get steam!

Toxic relationships are like sludge being dumped into a pure mountain stream. Imagine clear water getting squirted with black ink. A toxic person will not only pollute your soul; if you stay too long, they will eat you whole. If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, which I was when I had toxic people around, that is your body warning you to get the hell out. Our instinct is flight or fight and your brain is saying “run” because on some level you know this person or situation is toxic. Save yourself! The world needs you.
