Bad At Boundaries

No one told me that boundaries could be positive, encourage discussion, be mutually supportive and kind, create security, and uplift individuality. The only memo I ever got was that boundaries were punitive tools used to correct behavior that didn't align with other people's expectations of me. I learned to be scared of people setting boundaries. Turns out those weren't really boundaries, at least not the kind I want to have in my relationships. I want boundaries that affirm my pals place in my life. 💕🦌
