Why are boundaries so important, you ask?
 
This rolled across my youtube suggested videos & yet again, Brene Brown impresses me with her ability to cut right to the chase:

Thanks for sharing- I love her, AND, I just had a rough week with a friend pushing boundaries I didn't think I even needed to state...found myself very uncomfortable, and created space. Then felt bad because he's going through a tough time and was really really low...so I leaned back in out of "compassion and empathy" and he trounced my boundaries again. Perfect video to remind me it's not my problem if I need space while he's going through such a tough time. My boundaries are mine!

Something i seriously need to work on. Boundaries - here's what's ok for me and here's not. So simple yet so hard
