"I am so sick of dealing with this sh*t!"
I know that I at least say this in my head a thousand times a day, for various reasons. As much as I want to deny it, there are a lot of things that are not perfect in my life. Some of us live as if our world is so perfect when deep down, it is torturing us on the inside. There may be many things that we are not willing to acknowledge, and at times, we are in denial. Maybe it is your job, personal relationships, commute to work, or anything in that nature that makes us unhappy in life.
However, we have to come to a realization that enough is enough.
My partner is secretly abusive...
I have had plenty of friends in my life who have had abusive relationships. Some have suffered from verbal and emotional abuse where their partner would continuously come out with insults, being unsupportive, putting their ideas and dreams down, and stalking their social media. In the past, I have my time in a verbally abusive relationship where my boyfriend would constantly talk down to me. Looking back, I don't know why I put up with so much bull. I was weak and I only wanted to stay because on the outside, we seemed like the perfect couple and I wanted that. I thought that if I would stay a little longer, he would eventually turn into what I wanted him to be, but he did not. And it took a while for me to realize that I was better than that. Though at the end, he broke up with me for being too sensitive when I should have broken up with him in the first place.
I am sure that there are plenty out there who have suffered from physical and sexual abusive in relationships. NO ONE should have the power to forcefully put their hands on you in a harmful way in ANY situation. Any sexual encounters should not feel forced if you don't want to. If you are afraid to tell your partner NO or STOP, it is time to realize that they do not love you and do not have your best interest. Move on. Enough is enough.
I hate my job...
There are going to be times where we hate our jobs. That is normal. Sometimes, we have to accept certain jobs just to get us by until we get what we really want. Don't worry, it is just temporary. But, it is different when you feel stuck in a career that ends up being a dead end and no advancement. Maybe you feel as though you don't belong or things are not coming as natural as you thought that they would. Or maybe your boss is the devil and they live to make your job a living hell in the office? The possibilities could go on and on and trust me, I have felt all of this before. This is when you know that maybe it is time to move on.
Life is too short for us to continuously hate our jobs. If you feel stuck and have an urge to do something better, go for it. I know that it is easier said than done, especially when there is a family involved, however, that does not mean that it should stop you from going after what you truly want. Think about what your passion may be, something that you truly enjoy and or comes naturally to you, and utilize it. Capitalize on it and go for it.
How many times will you continue to put yourself through the torture? Make the decision to say enough is enough and move on. Allow yourself the pleasure of happiness to flow through you. Get out of that toxic relationship and make room for someone else to truly love you the way that you should be loved. Get out of that dead end job and make room for another job or career that will fulfill your happiness, while creating financial stability.
When will ENOUGH be ENOUGH for you?
Love yourself.
