As we grow and become healthier, one of the most important shifts we make is learning to put up boundaries that actually protect our peace. Not just ones that sound good in theory. This kind of growth is not about being cold or distant. It is about finally recognizing our worth and deciding that we are no longer letting people have unlimited access to us just because they are used to it. Some people will call it selfish. Let them. We know the truth. Boundaries are self-respect in action. They are the line between connection and control, between mutual care and emotional freeloading. And here is the part that tends to shake people. If you overstep a boundary after it has been made clear to you, that is it. There are no second chances. Because let’s be honest. Overstepping is not always a mistake. Sometimes it is a decision. And when someone chooses to ignore what you have expressed, they are also choosing the consequences that come with it. This is not about holding grudges...
