As relational beings, our paths often cross in productive and less productive ways. Everyone you meet leaves an impression on you. That impression mixes with your experience to produce who you are. It is in this sense that I posit that your experiences in life are ever evolving. The evolution that occurs to you in worldview, character and disposition takes twists and bends until death, as long as there are people we meet.
While this intercourse with other people can leave you empowered; sometimes you have experiences that do not just leave sour tastes in you, but in some extreme cases, lead to the thought of self extinction.
If you are reading this right now with a heavy heart, heavy with the loads of dirts left by people whose paths you've crossed, then there's hope! If you still think that life, with all its challenges is still worth living, then there is hope! "But I still have these hurts, challenges and difficulties as a result of what s/he did to me" you'll say. "What do I do with them? I have been too badly hurt to let go, to forgive" might be your thought. Yes, you have been broken; I will not downplay the enormous pain you're feeling now. But if you still show signs of life and willingness to live then my friend you need to DETOXIFY!
Detoxification is the process of removing harmful and potentially dangerous substances from a hitherto clean environment.
You need to wash off the contaminants from those people who have been with you and with whom you have been. Do the following now!
- seek professional support from certified counsellors. They are trained to handle injuries to the heart;
- pray about it;
- talk to someone you trust about it, especially someone who has been in a similar situation;
- read about it.
Be Motivated!
Remain Inspired!
