I will not APOLOGIZE.... I will not apologize for setting my own personal boundaries. I will not apologize for doing whatever it takes to enforce those boundaries. I will not apologize for doing whatever it takes to protect my emotional well being. I will not apologize for keeping out and or letting go those who are not healthy and who would damage my soul, self and mind. I will not apologize for taking time to think before I speak. I will not apologize for telling someone their behavior is not acceptable to me. I will not apologize for deciding what behavior is and is not acceptable. I will not apologize for stepping back from a situation in order to evaluate my feelings, however long that takes. I will not apologize for setting stricter boundaries when I need and sticking to them. I will not apologize for asking for space when I need it. I will not apologize for taking responsibility for the way I allow others to treat me. I will not apologize for cutting someone completely out of my life if I feel they don't respect my boundaries. I will not apologize for not believing everything I'm told. I will not apologize for knowing what I want and not settling for less. I will not apologize for letting your problems, your dysfunction be yours. I will not apologize for not being able to help you when you choose not to help yourself. I will not apologize for not being able to be all things to all people. I will not apologize for not accepting deceit and chaos in my life. I will not apologize for loving myself enough to set these boundaries ...even if it means I risk losing people in my life because of them. |
