Choosing Yourself — Quiet Boundaries
You don’t have to prove your boundaries. You can just have them. Choosing yourself sometimes looks quiet. It looks like not explaining, not defending, not over-proving, and not abandoning yourself to keep the peace. #choosingyourself #selfrespect #boundaries #protectingyourpeace
