Musings

Ironically, even when it seems to put a relationship at risk, I’ve found that setting boundaries generally improves it. Sometimes, the person falls out of my life, but even more surprising is when they come back in, after reflecting on the exchange and stating they’re ready to honor the boundary.

On a related note, I think it’s important to respect myself as much as others. That way, if they need me, I can bring my best, most capable self to the occasion.
