TOXIC

*cue britney*

“The endless cycle of painful experiences and hurt feelings won’t stop until someone has the courage to interrupt it, and I’m sure it won’t come as a surprise when I tell you that that someone has to be you. “Why should I have to change?” you’re probably wondering. “They’re the ones with the lousy behavior.” But you’re the one who is seeing things the most clearly, and you’re the one who is the most willing to acknowledge that there are some real problems here. Everyone else seems quite willing to go along as they always have, ignoring the rather formidable dinosaur that is standing right in the middle of the living room.”
