Liv Hanna explains, "It's always hard to walk away from a relationship even after recognizing it no longer serves you, and this proves true for many reasons." Liv Hanna continues: "One reason being change and knowing that when you leave said relationship, you'll no longer have the excuse of being encompassed by chaos or falling into whatever negative habits that you two practiced together. If it's love, even if it's doused in toxicity, you don't want to say goodbye to the person - even though they might be dragging you down along with them."
