Keepin’ it real. Khloé Kardashian shared a poignant quote via Instagram on Saturday, February 20, which could easily be a nod to a number of people and events in her life.
“You never really see how toxic someone is until you breathe fresher air,” the quote reads.
The 31-year-old Kocktails With Khloé host paired the succinct quotation with her own longer caption and interpretation.
“Let me remind you that we don’t need anybody’s approval to be happy in life,” she wrote. “It’s on you to validate and accept your version of happiness. Take the control back. You choose your life. Don’t let anyone else decide for you. We are no victims to life. No prisoners. But we do become victims and prisoners to the people we choose to surround ourselves with. We tend to become content, passive and blind within our relationships. Whether it be a family member, business partner, friend or a lover. Out of comfort and possibly fear. The unknown will leave you stuck in a bad situation. Choosing comfort over your own happiness.”
This isn’t the first time Kardashian has used a quotation to get a very direct message across to fans and family members.
Last month, after her younger brother Rob began dating Blac Chyna, her half-sister Kylie Jenner’s beau Tyga’s ex, Khloé took to Instagram with a quote from The Godfather.
“Never go against THE Family,” she captioned a shot of herself with her sisters in the studio with Kanye West. The Strong Looks Better Naked author later clarified that the quote was in reference to something completely unrelated, though she did note that “hey, maybe my quote can go towards a few people today.”
