Reading this... Really makes me think. It says so much about what we go through. And the real question is, why?
Haven't you been listening to your inner-voice? Be honest, your gut has been screaming but you have been ignoring it. How much more of your life are you going to throw-away for a lie? Accept it. Some people never change. Some people have abusive, negative, controlling tendencies in their blood; they are wired for havoc, bickering and deception. They know of no other way to interface with others except through their created chaos. Chaos is their home-court advantage where they play their mind-games so they can have power over you; it's a rigged game you can never win. They will wear you ragged and bring you to your knees emotionally and physically. In time they will destroy every wonderful thing you have in your life. You are in danger: your health, your peace of mind, your happiness and maybe even your life. There is more than one way to lose your life; quickly through violence, or fettered-away and wasted around dreadful, toxic people. You must take control of your life and make good decisions for yourself. The insanity must end, for your sake and for theirs.
Splendid post Silveron,
Truer words have never been spoken for situations such as ours. Whoever wrote this has quite the wise mind.
To answer your question why we dont listen to our inner voice i believe is this. Our emotional perception blinds our minds eye if not unified with our logical perception. As human beings going off of only our feelings we inherently want to see the good in people... especially those we love. To the point that in a way we will gaslight our own realty to fit the emotional perception of what our heart wants in order to keep the attachment alive. We continue project our own fantasies upon these people in order to not have to deal with the harsh reality. In hopes that they will become the person we initially fell for. Unfortunately that person was only an unsustainable persona and was only an existential mirror of ourselves. We can chase ghosts our whole lives but their ghosts for a reason because theyre dead and gone... never to return. When we gain this acceptance then we can truly end the chaos and find peace.
