"May you fall
in love with
someone,
who never
gets tired of
saving you
from your
own chaos."

"You’re important to me. I think if there’s anything that will last forever, it’s that. Whether we separate, stay in touch or rarely speak again, you will always be that little someone I really do care for, that I would sacrifice everything for to protect and keep safe."

How to Change from being a Toxic Person
Even if you hurt other people in the past, or been the kind of person that you really don’t respect, you can always make the decision to change. The tips below might be helpful for this.
1. Look for the good in the people that you meet, and try to empathise, and understand others’ viewpoints.
2. Remind yourself of this: “That it’s not all about you” … and the feelings and the wishes of others matter too.
3. Be polite; try saying “thank you”; and don’t take people for granted. What they did took thought and effort, and it’s nice to be acknowledged.
4. Think before you speak. This will save a lot of grief. For once those words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. They may never be forgotten, and can haunt you later on.
5. Check your tone of voice and the words you choose to use. These can cause misunderstandings, or create a bad impression.
6. Don’t gossip about others; look for things to praise instead.
7. Don’t take the bait and be pulled into arguments. Just let the comment go. You don’t need to rise to that.
8. Make the effort to be kind, and offer others your support. And do something that’s special, and which demonstrates some thought.
