Boundaries Are Not You Being Mean
Some of you feel guilty every time you say no. Every time you don’t answer right away. Every time you choose yourself instead of being available 24/7. That’s not you being mean. That’s you learning not to abandon yourself. The people who only liked you when you were overextending yourself will have a problem with the new you. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong. You are allowed to protect your time, your energy, your peace. Access to you is a privilege, not a right.
