There Is Good In The Bad

How a toxic relationship showed me where my happiness was.

There Is Good In The Bad

In This Article:

Personally, I have always been a relationship person.

I recently just got out of a two-year relationship, there were good times but also there were bad times.
I will always care for him and I do wish him the best, but together we were like fire and gasoline. We brought out the absolute worse in each other. We did love each other, but every time it was all good I was constantly waiting for the bad to come and it always did. It felt as if everything good was only temporary and that certainly is not a good feeling.

A lot of bad stuff happened within those two years, and it was not all him it was me, too.

If it were not for this relationship I would not be who I am today. Leaving this relationship was the best thing that had ever happened to me. I have grown into a person who is actually learning to love herself. I have met so many amazing new people and rekindled many old friendships.

I am a new person, and every day is a new day.

That relationship had taught me so many valuable things and lessons that I will never ever forget.

In all seventeen years of my life, I am the happiest I have ever been.
A toxic relationship can drain you but it can also help you. It can show you how beautiful you really are, it can show you what you really want, and it can show you how to be happy.

If you take the good out of a bad thing, you will be amazed at what you can find.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
