🙏🏼 One of the hardest lessons in life is realising that not everyone deserves unlimited access to you.
Protecting your peace isn’t about punishing other people—it’s about honouring yourself.
Pay attention to how you feel after spending time with someone.
Do you leave feeling lighter, stronger and more like yourself?
Or do you leave drained, doubting yourself, carrying emotions that weren’t yours to begin with?
Healthy relationships don’t require you to abandon yourself to keep someone else comfortable.
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for yourself isn’t to change the relationship.
It’s to change the level of access.
