TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

When I set boundaries, I feel nurtured.

Not too long ago, I realized that I was sad, depressed, confused, stressed and crazy because I lacked boundaries. Whatever anybody offered me, I took. From boyfriend to best friend, I used to allow people to keep the wheels of my life turning in several different directions. It was killing me, and I felt un-nurtured.

I am learning not to negotiate my boundaries.

No one has the right to walk into my life and decide how / who I am going to be for them. A good friend said to me today, "Ramona, you have to own yourself, girl."

I am nurtured when I work to be in full possession of myself.

My life. My terms.

Grace.
