Boundaries protect our energy, but they can also cross a line. When every disagreement is treated like an attack or every uncomfortable truth is declared off limits, boundaries stop being about self-care and start becoming about control.

Isn't it interesting how people say you've changed when you're actually just being authentic for the first time? They mistake authenticity for rebellion. They confuse self-discovery with betrayal. They call it change when it's really just truth breaking through.
