Quitting

Quitting is a hard thing to do.

Quitting a job. Quitting friendships. Quitting smoking. Quitting drinking. Quitting drugs. Quitting toxicity.

There can be no scale to show which is the hardest, especially since for some, the variables weigh differently on their heart and mind.

Quitting is a necessity sometimes. A necessity to get where you need to be. A necessity to get where you want to be. A necessity to heal.

To start the process, you need to take that little step. But what about when that little step feels like you're about to plunge off the side of the cliff into the rocky waters below? It can seem infinitesimally difficult to do. Having support in the form of friends or family is key. 

It isn't always possible though if cutting off those friends is part of what you are cutting out.

In the end you make your own choices. 

You dig your own grave.

You build up your own pyramid.

If you need to quit your well paying 9-5 office job because the mental strain is deteriorating your health. 

If you need to move out of your family home and just be hopping from couch to couch for a bit because the controlling nature has deteriorated your soul.

If you need to stop talking to that person who has been there to support you through every low mood the past 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years, 2 decades; because you have finally realized they are holding you back.

Do it.

Do not let anyone else tell you that you are making the wrong choice.

You will bounce back eventually and you will be magnitudes stronger because of it. You may even be thankful towards those people that caused you to pull away because you wouldn't have become the amazing, powerful, beauty that is staring you back in the eyes from that glossy window a lifetime down the line.
