One more time for those in the back.
If you associate love with war – you’ll stay!
The classic metaphor, “Love is a battlefield,” is one that some of you take quite literally, but you shouldn’t.
When your significant other becomes your sparing partner – it’s time to leave, especially if we’re talking physical warfare and not just emotional, mental and spiritual warfare. A toxic relationship doesn’t make it worth while and although a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor, the potentially tumultuous tides of a healthy relationship typically involve personal growth, spiritual enhancements, communicative strides and tests of compatibility. But it does not involve disrespect, lowering of self-esteem, constant bickering and belittlement while good sex rests on the other side.
That physical element has left many of you in unhealthy relationships for far too long, some having produced children as well, all while attempting to allegedly break generational curses of turbulent, destructive, mismatched and unsuccessful relationships. Do you know why you struggle to go against the familial grain? It’s because you have normalized the perceived relationship between love and war as standard, typical and acceptable but it’s not.

When something or someone no longer serves you, it’s time to leave. Does that mean it will be easy to leave – no – but it’s time, nonetheless. The longer you stay, the harder the departure. You don’t deserve war, you deserve peace but if you believe that love begets war, you’ll stay every time and you’ll look back on life and see that you spent most of it being miserable with a person that was supposed to make life beautiful – don’t do that!
Love is beautiful. Love is kind. Love is selfless and love is not blind, hey, that all rhymed!
I’m good, now go be better!
