Know Your Boundaries

(The Star, Visconti)

Know your boundaries. Realize that access to you is a privilege that can be revoked. How many of us allow toxic people to remain close enough to hurt us, again and again? At what point do we decide to let them go? To cut them out of our lives? That applies to romantic interests, spouses, co-workers, and even family members.

I don't believe that anyone has a right to continue hurting us just because they're family. Poisons can come packaged in all sorts of fancy bottles and we can even feel sentimental about some of them. But in the end, the poisons are still toxic and best not to be consumed.

Cutting toxic people out of our lives can be painful, especially when it's someone we have been taught to believe has a right to be in our lives, but what is the ultimate cost to ourselves? I think it's less painful to cut them off versus the pain endured in a life of accepted abuse.

So, I repeat... Know your boundaries. Realize that access to you is a privilege that can be revoked.

Light, Love, and Blessings…..
