let people
volunteer themselves
out of your life
by learning to set
healthy boundaries
over time
people will always
show you who they are
listen to what they do
more than what they say
realize
you’re not fooling anyone
either
“Self care is not selfish or self indulgent. We cannot nurture others from a dry well. We need to take care of our own needs first, then we can give from our surplus, our abundance.”
— Jennifer Loudon
a boundary
is not a boundary
if there’s no consequence
for crossing it
learn to set them
learn to enforce them
without reactivity
learn to recognize
when you’re attempting
to control others
without consent
and crossing healthy boundaries
they may not even know
to set
when someone fucks you over, don’t you dare ask yourself, “what did i do to deserve this?” NOTHING. you didn’t do shit. someone taking advantage of your kindness will never be your fault.
Wow…this hits close to home.
you are not
responsible
for the choices
others make
