There is probably at least one person you can think of that is toxic to your life. It could be their negative attitude, lifestyle and choices, their actions or words, whatever it may be...it's toxic. But, often times it is hard for you to identify that toxic person in your life. Though others may see it, you just don't see the problem.
One day you will wake up and see that toxic person consuming and negatively impacting your life. Their toxic friendship may not even necessarily be toxic due to bad things, maybe your personalities just don't mix, it's a one sided friendship or you've been holding on to hope for too long that they will change their ways.
You must cut that person out of your life, though it won't be easy, it will be worth it in the long run. When that day comes it will seem very sad. I promise you that it will get better and easier with time. Sure, at first you will miss that person in your life. That may have been the person you ran and told everything to, may have felt like family to you, may have been your friend for many years...but the time has finally come to cut them out. Words might be left unsaid, but ultimately your happiness will begin to prosper. You will experience and see the world in a whole new refreshing way. Things that they may have hated that you naturally hated because they did, you may come to LOVE! Tasks/events you once avoided because of them may become your new favorite!
The road may be long and hard. You may even still try to hang around that person every once in a while, but after a few failed attempts you will come to realize why you aren't associating with them as much anymore. Sure, you will be sad and miss some of things you used to do together. Running into each other will be awkward, but eventually they become just another person to you. If you choose to, you may even build an acquaintance with that person again. Nothing will ever be the same as it used to, and that's okay, that's better for you in the long run.
Conclusively, you will begin to grow. You will learn a lot about yourself while eliminating this person from your life. You will learn a lot about the friendships you will make in the future, what you value in a friend. But the most important thing you will learn is how to eliminate the toxic from your life and how to avoid it.
