Day Two
Hundred and Sixty-Nine: Last time.
I’ve been thinking
a lot about boundaries lately and setting up comfortable boundaries with
people. I think it’s never too early or
too late to establish how you would like to be treated within any relationship,
but communication seems to get in the way.
Sometimes I wish that I was more outspoken with certain people in my
life, and other times I wish I had kept more to myself. What it all comes down to is what I feel is
important for me. How selfish is
that? I’m trying to think that it is
more empowering as opposed to greedy, I should not feel guilty for putting
boundaries in order to protect my own feelings, mental health and
positivity. But what I don’t understand
is that some people overlook the boundaries people set for them. Honour anything put in place by the people in
your life so that they feel safe. I
respect everyone’s right to having a safe and protected relationship with me,
and if they want to communicate differently than that’s great. I expect my boundaries to be followed as
well, but relationships are a two way street.
Friendships are hard work, but there are two of you involved, and it
takes a lot of work and balance to create the façade of ease. But, if anything, friendship is worth riding
through eachother’s boundaries, because it creates lasting and fulfilled moments
and eventually lives.
I’m full of
cheese again today.
