The Spark

You already hold all the love you need without seeking it externally. The whole Universe is inside you. Believe in your own thoughts and feelings again. This will help you fill the void that feels so empty

We crave external validation, because another person’s word always feels truer to us than our own

A classic sign of a toxic relationship is that everything is on their terms; the plans, the concerned emotions, the allowed reactions.

Some relationships can descend further into abuse such as financial control, violence and isolation.

You can never see how bad it’s got when you’re the one in it, because you’re often convinced all these sanctions are totally accidental, or worse yet deserved, for your own good.

The beginning of a typical toxic romantic relationship typically consists of love-bombing and grand gestures, showing all too strong feelings and all too fast promises of commitment. Then come the put-downs, gaslighting, threats and intimidation.

I was 23 years old, but it would take me writing this seven years later, at 30, before I would realise that what I was addicted to wasn’t just people who treated me badly, it was this emotional rollercoaster.

I open my love life up to the Divine, surrendering it to the Universe. I step into my self-loving self with pride, and let my higher self help me speak my truth.

Maybe you’ve been there too, stonewalled into physical

are never alone when you truly believe whatever cosmic being you believe in has always got you covered.
