You guys, I’m healing!!! I was in a very toxic relationship for over a year. I spent most of it crying, until he gave me the worst insult of my life, and I knew I had to be done. No, I didn’t stay because of money; he didn’t give me money or even buy me stuff—not even on my birthday! The insult he gave me affected me so much that I became a generally unhappy person. The month it happened, I was just straight-up transferring aggression to people. I wasn’t talking to anyone, and if any guy tried to confess love to me, he’d wake up blocked. My energy around my friends dropped; I was always moody and ready to go home.
Sometimes I’d lie when they asked to hang out. I wasn’t even replying to anyone! I checked my call log, and it was just my parents’ calls like seven times since the beginning of this year, I swear to God. I was starting to worry I’d be this way forever and was going to die alone. Lol, I even deleted my social media accounts. At this point, God was going to deliver my future husband to my house—and He did 😊. September, made it exactly a year since all that happened. No talking stage—I was hiding myself.
Then I decided to post a pic of myself, and boom, this cute guy from my childhood slid into my DM. He has a great job, and he’s not in Nigeria (a step up from the yahoo boys I used to date—the “having a job” part). I found myself reconnecting with my friends and feeling grateful they were kind to me and understood the distance. I now reach out to ask people how they are and how their day was. I’m starting to leave the house, little by little, and I feel so happy. I hope I never go back to that dark place.
