If they treat you bad, if they make you feel like an outsider, or they make you question your worth, you don’t have to like them or love them. You love who loves you. You put your energy into those who love you back. 

There’s no ‘because they’re blood, you got to love them back’ here. 

This year break this toxic mindset. Blood is not thicker than peace of mind.” 

After Thompson reposted this to his Instagram, many fans speculated whether this was a response and an indirect message directed at Khloe Kardashian. The post talks about how it is not mandatory to love someone who shares your blood. Fans theorized that Thompson is mentioning his Ex in the hidden wording of the reposted story. Regardless, we cannot ascertain whether it was a harmless New Year’s message or an indirect response to Khloe Kardashian.
