Toxic Love

Toxicity is nowadays not only limited to the harmful effects chemicals have on organisms it is also related to us, humans and how we as a person can become toxic or attract toxicity. Toxic traits are those that make a person think from the heart not the mind. The mind very well knows what he or she is doing is wrong but the heart wants what it wants. Every person’s toxic traits are different, while one lusts for someone’s presence in their lives another is struggling from getting rid of their toxicity, one may be living in a toxic marriage but not able to grip away from it because children, society, the list goes on. So what does one do when they come to the realisation that they areeither a toxic person or they attract toxic people? They give in, yep that’s exactly what I have noticed at least the people around me. It’s hard to resist toxicity too because everyone wants a little trouble only to realise the fun being replaced by guilt. Some people enjoy being toxic especially when they know it’s harming the other person and also having an immense effect on them. They know that whatever rubbish they throw at the person they will still be welcomed back in their lives. This is also the reason people are unable to give up toxic habits like smoking, drinking or drugs cause it gives them that high that normally satisfying things won’t. So they go on to become a drunkard, a chain smoker, or a drug addict. People mistake toxicity for love while they may feel what their partner is saying because he or she loves the other person but they are just confusing their toxicity for love. Toxic relationships still exist without anyone’s interference because the person does not want to leave it. I once knew a woman who was no less than a man but her man’s toxicity consumed her so much that she mistook it for love and now as he comes home and lashes it out on her she quietly weeps and tells everyone with a bright smile ‘’ my partner is the best’’ he gets angry sometimes at me and does things he would otherwise never do but it’s alright cause he loves me.The next time you hear anyone say this you know they are in a toxic relationship and should be made aware of the fact that it’s toxic, love.
