You're Not Who the Toxicity Tried to Make You: You're Becoming Who You Were Always Meant to Be

Healing after toxicity doesn't happen the moment you leave. It doesn't happen because you "should be over it by now."

In the last post, we talked about survival: the quiet, powerful steps you can take when you're still inside a toxic situation.

There's a moment in every toxic situation when you realize you can't keep going the way you have been.

There's a moment, sometimes tiny, sometimes loud, when you realise something has shifted inside you.

You rarely realise you're in a toxic situation while you're still inside it.

There comes a point in life when you look in the mirror and realise you're not the same person you used to be.

In today's world, "faking it to make it" has become a popular mantra. Scroll through social media, and you'll see countless people presenting polished versions of themselves, sometimes far removed from reality. At first glance, it seems harmless, even acceptable. After all, isn't everyone doing it?
