After much encouragement from many of my friends, a while ago I did something: I blocked someone. It’s something that I never thought I would actually have the courage to do, however, it was the second time I felt that I had to do it.
Why? Well, I have a multitude of reasons on why I made this choice to block them and why others encouraged me to as well. The main reason, however, is this: I no longer need their negativity affecting my life and neither do you, That’s right. I’m talking to you, my dear reader. The reason I’m writing is because we all have that negative force in our life who we just need to ignore, to block, to remove completely. You may think “What are you talking about? I don’t have someone who is like that.” I can guarantee you that you most likely do.
No one deserves to have negativity in their life. It can be a very dark force that can sometimes physically sick to even think about dealing with it. It can lead to anxious thoughts or to issues with mental health.
While you may think that the negative force in your life can’t really do this to you. It can. Trust me. I’ve seen it many of the people around me and even within myself. You may think you can get through it alone if you just ignore it, but you can’t. It will hurt you.
I have been blessed with the friends who stayed with me and helped me to realize this, and they all deserve a special shout out. You probably have friends too, who keep insisting that you need to leave this negative force behind and you know that they are probably right. Listen to them. They will love you and stay with you no matter what.
If the negative force keeps coming back, remember, it’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to talk to someone and ask what they think you should do. It’s important that you have these people to talk to and have someone who will just listen to you when you need it. They are usually the best people to get advice from.
But most of all remember this. Even if you don’t think there is a way to leave that negativity behind, there is always a way. Even if you don’t think there is someone out there who will listen to you, there always is. You just need to have a little faith, hope, and trust.
