207 Days of LDR: Toxic.

I’ve come to realize that at some point, I can be a toxic person too.

There, I said it.

I guess I’ve also contributed to the toxic energy in the environments I’ve been in. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own sense of entitlement over the smallest things that we forget, we're not the only ones who matter in this world.

There are times I dislike someone I’ve never even spoken to.

There are even moments I feel hatred towards someone just for existing. That’s toxic, isn’t it?

Sometimes, I develop a dislike for people based on what I hear from others.

Other times, I stay silent—and that silence can make others uncomfortable with how I come across.

I try to be as genuine as I can, just doing my best to adapt in unfamiliar surroundings.

But the truth is, all of us can be a little toxic to one another, whether we realize it or not. And honestly, that’s okay. If it ever feels overwhelming, it’s okay to step back and remove yourself from the situation.

As long as we keep that toxicity in check, it’s fine. So let's just live, and enjoy what we can, while we can.

So I will not see my husband until the end of this month. Sad.
