Original Advice
“DO: State your pace, needs, and dealbreakers early.”
Terms First, Charm Later
Your fake nice is a lie with good manners. When you withhold your tempo, someone else sets the metronome. They hear your laugh as consent, your silence as a green light. Agreeable becomes adhesive; you get stuck. Name your speed, needs, and hard stops at the door. Small talk without terms is bait. Refuse the soft yes. Demand alignment before momentum.
Boundaries aren’t walls; they are time signatures. You are ruled by language, so use it. Terms spoken early filter out chaos before it courts you. Clarity invites respect; ambiguity invites management. Stating your timeline and non-negotiables frees your curiosity to play inside a map. Early friction is cheaper than late betrayal. Replace the wink with a clause. Replace the shrug with a date.
Cosmic Context
You are Mercury’s switchboard—fast, funny, persuasive. Your genius is mirroring; your freedom requires edges, so give your twins a script before they start improvising.
