toxic gets used a lot but usually it’s when two people bring out the worst in each other instead of the best. sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes it creeps in slow.

yeah it happens more than people think. toxic feels like love mixed with fear, or love mixed with exhaustion. you start losing pieces of yourself just trying to keep things calm.

for me it was when i couldn’t breathe without worrying how he’d react. every text felt like walking into a trap. i kept asking myself if this was normal love. turns out it was just control dressed up as care.

Yes, I’ve totally been in that relationship before.
My current relationship doesn’t feel that way. He can be really mean, REALLY insulting.
But I do also feel like we bring out good things in each other.

it’s hard when the good times are the best I’ve ever had, but he still makes me cry.
