Settling for abuse, maltreatment, and maladaptive behaviors for the sake of companionship has become a plague in our society. Prioritizing having, and maintaining, a romantic relationship should not be the focal point of our accomplishments. This tends to lead to the dissolution of self and the obsession of preserving toxic partnerships. Prioritizing our safety, comfortability, and sense of self is something that gets pushed to the back burner when we are introduced to having interactions and relationships with others. We, as a collective, need to refocus our intentions and energy back onto the self in order to not perpetuate the vicious cycle of validation chasing and enduring loveless relationships.
