RE: The power of letting go

There's something I always say, self love is not selfishness. Sometimes people get to become tied down because they they've refused to let go. It's always good to put yourself first sometimes and every other thing comes second, I remembered a friend who was in a very toxic relationship but had refused to leave the guy, all in the name of love ha, one day she came to me crying that the guy beats her up and he also did same thing last night. The question I asked her was, Mira don't you love yourself? She answered I do, then I told her place yourself as a priority, if he's not seeing the good in you then let him go another person will. Lol madam still went back to guy, I just said to myself I will never advice anybody in relationship but she's my friend and I can't watch her die in the hands of her boyfriend all in the name of love and relationship. I kept quiet and was monitory them, my plans was to get her parents involved this time around but unfortunately to her the next issue that occured between the two of them was a breakup. She came to be crying and the only statement I made was pls do me a favour, Just take a week out of this month and love yourself then you will see the kind of harm you have been causing yourself and your health this time around she listened to me and today she's happy and no longer in a toxic relationship. That's the power of putting yourself first and letting go.
