Day 3

         As a scientist and a lover of stories, I wanted to document this journey. At first I was going to keep it to myself.  But then something occurred to me, our society is falling apart (especially in the department of love). Others must be stuck in the same terrible beliefs and cycles, so I would share my story. I would show the world how to regain a faith so strong, that it would be the love of legends.
          It was a work day, luckily, I only worked my morning job that day. So, I got off at 2:00 then went to run errands. Once I got home, I poured myself a big glass of wine and thought of steps to be taken to renew my faith in love. First, I did what I had dreamed of doing for so long. I deleted all the toxic people out of my life. I went from 112 friends on Facebook to 67. Not all the people were toxic, but a lot of them were people I didn't talk to on a regular basis. I wanted good people in my life. I battle with my loneliness, especially after moving somewhere where I didn't know anyone. But I'd always been lonely, always wanted to be around people. Well, I was done with that. I only wanted people I loved and people who loved me in my life. And not that selfish kind of manipulative love, because that's not really love.
         Next I delete so many phone numbers out of my phone, it's not even funny. What's odd, is that this caused a lot of anxiety. Why? These were people that every time I saw their phone number or their profile picture, I got upset. I was afraid. I was walking headfirst into the unknown, and I just had to trust that everything was going to be okay. I got through it okay, and slept better that night.

Lesson:

Get rid of toxins. Your body can't survive if it's filled with toxins, so what makes you think your mind or life can.
