Keepin’ it real. Khloé Kardashian shared a poignant quote via Instagram on Saturday, Feb. 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.
“Never forget that fate loves the fearless.”
It continued: “Today’s wisdom was yesterday’s pain. Tomorrows happiness is today’s bravery. Never be fearful of letting go, for sometimes holding on can damage you deeper. Those scars run deep. There’s a huge difference between giving up and letting go. Giving up means you are selling yourself short. It means allowing fear to limit your opportunities and keep you cemented in place. Stuck. Letting go means freeing yourself from something that is no longer beneficial to your personal growth. It means removing toxic people and toxic mindsets from your life so that you can make room for relationships and ideas that are conducive to your happiness and ever evolving personal expansion. Giving up is self-defeat. Letting go is self-love. Letting go means putting yourself first instead of holding on to that negative space you don’t deserve. Nobody deserves. Removing toxic people from your life is only allowing room for a positive flow to elevate your mind, body and soul. Not everyone who started with you will finish with you. Be ok with that. ‘God Helps Those Who Help Themselves.’”
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.”
