Day 11

Learning to walk away can be both liberating and terrifying.

No matter the conditions, being in dysfunction or toxicity over a period of your life can almost feel comfortable.

It’s the known. It’s the “normal.” It’s the understood.

Stepping out of that can create anxiety, fear and even grief within.

But if you’ve come to that point when walking away is necessary, rest assured it will be good.

Momentarily, it may be uncertain. It may be unpredictable. And it may even feel unsecured.

Yet, the longer you walk away from the dysfunction, the clearer you’ll see.

The longer you stay away from the toxicity, the deeper you’ll breathe.

So, walk bravely through your door to a new tomorrow.

Stand boldly on that threshold between the known and unknown and begin dreaming of the good that may come.

And then, run swiftly toward freedom that is begging you to come.

Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 

1 Corinthians 15:33

Make no friendship with an angry man,
And with a furious man do not go,
Lest you learn his ways
And set a snare for your soul.

Proverbs 22:24-25
