When you grow up with elders whose mood would decide how your day would go, you somehow end up giving that power to every authority figure around you even when you grow up. It's exhausting, but it keeps happening.
I'm trying to unlearn that. For starters, I've made peace with the fact that setting boundaries is the only way, the most uncomfortable way. But god, it actually is what it is.
One boundary at a time.
One "no" at a time.
One step back at a time.

“Is it really so difficult to do what must be done? It’s not difficult at all, when you stop fighting against it. One little step will get you started, and once you’re started, you become interested and invested. Once you’re started, momentum begins to give you a push that becomes stronger with each effort. Instead of putting off what you know must be done, what if you could somehow get yourself to be positively enthusiastic about it? You absolutely can, because you can choose how you wish to feel about anything.The genuine satisfaction in your life comes when you know you’re making a difference. And whatever it is in your world that must be done is your opportunity to make that difference. Go beyond intending, go beyond planning, go beyond wishing, and go beyond saying you need to get it done. Dive in, go to work, make something happen and be the positive, dynamic difference that makes you feel alive.”
