The death of commitment

commitment, relationships

Recently when browsing my Instagram stories, I came across an interesting response to a very basic question. A very successful entrepreneur that I follow was asked by one of her followers why she refers to her significant other as her son’s father as opposed to another title like boyfriend or hubby. Her response was something to the effect of, “I’m too old to call him my boyfriend. Partners doesn’t feel right. We’re together and we do what works for us.” She shares a home with and is raising a child with this man but seems very reluctant to publicly say that they are in a committed relationship . [Side note: I don’t know this woman personally and the info that I have is based solely on what she decides to share.

You know it’s not meant to be, but you put everything you have into that one person only to be hurt over and over. You know moving on is the best…

One major self-love strategy is the ability to identify and remove toxic relationships from our lives in order to protect our peace.

No, the title of this is not a reference to the Disney Channel movie, Frozen. However, just like in the movie when Princess Anna discovered that although Prince Hans seemed like a good guy, he was actually very toxic for her, she had to let him go. (By force since he tried to kill her but that’s beside the point.)

Even though self-love sounds like it only has to do with us that is not completely the case. The ways in which we love and see ourselves are very much affected by those we surround ourselves with and those we connect ourselves to. When consistently interacting with people who bring negativity into our lives, it tends to influence the way we see ourselves and ultimately has the…
