Musings

I believe love for oneself means being willing to push others away. Not cut them off necessarily, but clearly communicating what isn’t acceptable. Ironically, more often than not, it’s done wonders for a given relationship. But if I try to keep a relationship through clingy appeasement, it typically fades due to increasingly begrudging erosion of tolerance, or the inevitable eruption where I’ve reached my limit. I’d rather just be upfront, lay down the boundary, and go about my day.
