You keep letting go of one toxic person just to replace them with another dressed in a different kind of chaos.
Different voice. Different face. Same emotional war.
Same manipulation, just smoother.
Same pain, just packaged better.
You don’t need a new distraction; you need healing.
Because if dysfunction feels like home, you’ll keep inviting it in and calling it love.
It’s not enough to just walk away from the toxic — you have to unlearn why you were drawn to it in the first place.
You have to stop confusing intensity with intimacy, and silence with peace.
Break the cycle.
Heal the parts of you that think love has to hurt to feel real.
You don’t need another lesson. You need restoration.
Stop repeating the same heartbreak with different names.
