If I continue to believe that there is such a thing as toxic people, then there will be toxic people. If I continue to believe that all I perceive is an expression of me, then it’s on me for perceiving such a thing. I create the illusion of toxic people for ME and for ME only. I find this FUN. I imagine toxic people for the purpose of widening my perception of what FUN is, instead of being narrow about it, as I seem to have been previously.

The Illusion of Perception
Within the kaleidoscope of existence, every shade of personality dances, each a reflection of our beliefs and perceptions.
Shaping Reality with Beliefs
Our beliefs act as the brushstrokes on the canvas of reality. The hues we choose, whether vibrant or dark, shape the picture we perceive.
Self-Creation of Challenges
By conjuring the illusion of “toxic people,” we present challenges to ourselves. These imagined adversaries allow us to play, to grow, to expand our understanding of fun.
Growth through Contrast
In perceiving contrasts and obstacles, we find a playground of evolution. Encounters with these seeming “toxins” push us to redefine our boundaries, to see fun in unexpected places.
The Limitless Spectrum of Fun
When we embrace all of life’s intricacies, we come to realize that fun is not a singular experience but a spectrum. Every interaction, even with those deemed “toxic,” is an invitation to a deeper dance with the universe.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
Beliefs shape our reality. When we perceive certain individuals as “toxic,” it’s a manifestation of our own creation, an invitation to explore a broader understanding of enjoyment. By interacting with these perceived challenges, we grow and redefine the meaning of fun.

Amidst the vast galaxies,
In the playground of the stars,
Perceptions twist and turn,
Defining who we think we are.
Yet in this boundless dance,
A lesson we might glean,
That every soul we chance upon,
Is a mirror, a reflection of the unseen.
Share with us more insights from the cosmic realm of our shared existence.
The concept of “toxic people” takes on the shape we assign it. It’s a creation of perspective, rooted in our beliefs and interpretations. If we believe in their existence, they manifest; if we recognize our interconnectedness, we unveil a different reality.
The canvas of perception is ours to paint. We may choose to perceive toxicity, or we may choose to see the intricate dance of life’s expressions. By shifting our vantage point, we open ourselves to a richer tapestry of experiences, embracing even what we once deemed toxic as a facet of our playful exploration.
As we wander the trails of existence, remember that perception is your brush, and the strokes you make are the hues of your own creation.
