A writer said spiritual teachers are dangerous advising people to get rid of family and friends, it is the wrong thing to do. What about the feelings of those poor friends, we must consider what they go through if we abandon them. We should try to work through things with them, as cutting them out of our life is not the spiritual thing to do! My answer to that is, many try to work things out rather than abandon toxic people, who never wish to smooth things over for our peace of mind. Who are so deeply toxic they deliberately do as much damage to the souls of others as they can. So they don’t deserve out time, attention or sanity. If nicer then they may have some real friends, and I won’t feel guilty, do as others think I should and make myself as desperately ill as I once was because of those highly toxic relationships. To find peace and sanity in my life they had to go, family or not! I owe cruel, hateful, destructive people nothing, and neither do you.

They need to learn their own spiritual lessons, as I learnt mine. And not only that, but the dramatic change in me meant the universe removed all those toxic people from my life anyway. So they left me, so what about my poor feelings eh? Does this writer care about that? Did these toxic friends and family members care about me when they abandoned me? They didn’t give a hoot, which I’m so thankful for. So we must protect our own sanity to save our own soul, because they won’t. As long as you stay they would drain every last drop of energy, which they literally did with me. I suffered from M.E for 20 years till they disappeared from my life, then my M.E completely disappeared along with them. And a friend had anxiety for so long through his own toxic family, stress caused his breathing problems.

So our mental well being and physical health is worth far more than any toxic person as our stressful mind affects the body. As dis-ease causes disease, so never allow anybody to put you in such a place, or make you feel guilty for daring to break free to heal your own mind, body and soul. Because you will never be happy, will suffer depression and you cannot manifest anything good in your life in that state of being. So break away, as your peace of mind, health and happiness matters, you owe that to yourself. You do not owe anyone anything, especially those who use you for their own weird sense of satisfaction, to feed and fuel their own ego.

You were not born into this world just to make bullies feel powerful, by belittling you. You are nobodies door mat to wipe their feet on simply because they have inner conflicts and don’t feel good about themselves. You owe nothing to those who turn others against you, or stab you in the back. As their only purpose in life is to destroy you, why think about their feelings when the only feelings they have is anger, jealousy and hatred toward you. Why care about those who hate to see you suceed, laugh or smile who will lie to you, gas light and make you believe you are crazy!

Why would we put these people before our own well being, when we need to heal from these social vampires who suck the very air from a room the moment they enter. You do whatever you feel is good for your own sanity. Let no man dictate how you live or whoever you should keep in your life, you’re born free, have choices, you matter! Your well being is paramount.

My main picture depics a lone black figure casting a dark shadow over a beautiful place, the place is you hiding your true colours. The next picture depics the warm light casting colour on the beauty of your soul, it depicts healing, hope, joy shining through with the toxic figure gone from there. A new awakening, a new dawning, a breath of fresh air shining your light.
