Original Advice

DO: Set clear boundaries and honor them consistently.

Draw The Line, Keep It

Stop calling it kindness when it's fear. You give past empty, then blame the tide. Every time you say yes to avoid disappointment, you abandon yourself. That is the leak. Plug it. State what you allow. Enforce it when the first knock comes. Love without access codes is not love, it is exposure. Let some calls go unanswered. Let silence do security.

Consistency is the spell. Boundaries make your care believable because they make you predictable. People trust a lighthouse that doesn’t flirt with the rocks. Your tenderness needs a container or it curdles into resentment. Write the rules on your door and follow them, even on soft days. Train others by how you respond, not by what you feel. Repetition turns a line into a law.

Cosmic Context
