Toxic people are like a cancer

Stop and think of people that are in your life or associated with your life that are toxic. These are the people that do not care for you enough to express their concerns (whether good or bad) to your face, who love you when they need something, who are sometimes there but mostly not, who you keep holding out for thinking that they will change and live up to the minimal expectations that you have of someone that you care about..but they never do. These people tend to be envious of others (which according the Buddha is one of the cardinal sins:) . They are insecure in some ways) and start projecting their toxicity into your life and causing what I like to say "brain damage." At first these people can be difficult to get rid of. Mainly because they are someone who you truly love. You keep hoping that they will do the right thing, that they will some how realize how much you care and love them, and hope that they will give that back to you in return. This hope causes disappointment(which in my opinion is one of the worst feelings) and eventually you learn the hard way to get this toxic person out of your life. Another reason these type of people are hard to get rid of is because, they just don't F*CKING get it. They will keep finding ways of manipulating themselves back into your life - usually in a passive aggressive manner. They cause anger, hurt, and frustration, which all = DRAMA. Sometimes the only thing you can do to get rid of these people is pop a cap in their ass and show them who's boss ( J/K ...lol well sort of!)

One of the great things about having toxic people in your life is that when you finally grow a backbone and get rid of them, you feel amazing. It's like one of those total body cleanses (You know the ones where you don't eat for several days and instead drink a horrible substance and eventually they say you'll start seeing bugs of some sort in your dung??<-----BTW we can say that toxic people are like these bugs that come out of your dung during one of these cleanses) You re-appreciate the goodness and calmness that your life has the potential of having and you gain a new fondness of people who are pure. Instead of getting "brain damage," you grow and gain insight.

So go ahead people and do a total "life cleanse!" Besides, I heard you can lose at least 5 pounds in the process as well..what's 5 pounds less?? Sometimes a lot......
