I used to think I was toxic. And I was. But I was only toxic because I needed a defense mechanism. And speaking up for myself I was made the toxic person. I'm not toxic to those that are kind to me. I'm not toxic those that don't disrespect me. I'm not toxic to those that make me feel loved. I'm nice. I'm kind. I'm loving. I'm all of those things until I'm given a reason not to be.
