When it comes to high places like pedestals and emotions like love and hate, we unintentionally create inequality (between our self-worth and the outer world). Our ideals can blind us, we become overwhelmed by emotion rather than grounded with logic, and we start sitting people on thrones they don’t deserve. We place people into a role, like a king or queen (dictating every aspect of our life). The gap made by our ideals fuels our emotions; it’s like a drug addiction where the cure is the cause.
Loves meant to raise us (to bring freedom), but manipulative people can use love as a weapon. Just light up the end of an arrow and Cupids bow can be switched to the opposite intention—to burn us. Remember Achilles’ heel? Who’d have thought a great warrior’s downfall would be in plain sight. To a conqueror exposed flaws are target points to take advantage of—there’s that thin line between love and hate.
Once we’re emotionally weak, users can slip through by hacking our inner security systems. These people attach themselves to you like a virus embedding themselves into your cells, using your body as their slave, they become your master. A virus’s primary goal is to find a host where they have to do zero of the work, but reap 100% of the benefits. Hence why users only love what feeds their grandiose ego rather than earning it with integrity. Greed breeds ungratefulness, and you must cut the energetic cord from people who you’ll never satisfy.
We’re all guilty of falling victim to these energy vampires, lazing about on the pedestals we put them on. We created this ideal person; we imagined love was like prospecting for gold, and if we were patient enough, we’d find the one. But the ones we attract are the types that know how to act golden, make you believe you’ve found treasure, only to realise when it’s time to measure their worth, they fail the real test of time—they don’t last, they rust.
Fortunately, without failure, there’s no life lesson, and everybody at some point in their lives fails the balancing act between heart and mind, it’s tricky! But it’s do-able.
Stop falling victim toxic people!
Think like a person that craves power (in a perspective sense), thinking like the enemy is often the key to their throne. When you think about it: Power needs the absence more than anything, to trick its victims into believing, they need them. Power centralises the control, it’s a master of illusion, giving enough breadcrumbs without starving those beneath them, it’s built this way for a reason— to circle its prey, to believe there’s no other option. Be aware of these red flags and always be ten steps ahead.
Rid your life of toxic cycles.
Put yourself first, stop waiting for recognition, asking for equality and seeking permission from others. Don’t centre everything around another person, they want you to run to them because it weakens you. Take your power back, discover what’s right under your nose and start seeing people, for who they really are. Anchor love into yourself and ignore the tricks of illusion— power-hungry people want you to crave them, the heart grows fonder when starved from love.
Love yourself & Be Authentic!
Start planting all your energy into yourself. You don’t need anybody’s acceptance; you don’t need to explain why you deserve better, you don’t need anyone else to show you that. It’s a disease to your soul. Nobody can break us down except for ourselves, and when you realise this truth; you’ll walk with your head a little higher.
Now go build your own damn castle, and become the queen that you are, your throne is waiting, don’t let jokers rule your life.
