Despite All The Odds

For compassionate people, we tend to love BIG. 🔥 When we commit, we are ALL in. And this is a beautiful thing, except…when it’s not.

Because sometimes we commit to someone (or something) who isn’t able to treat us with the basic respect we deserve. 🥺

Sometimes we commit to someone (or something) that seems great at first, but turns out to be unable to show up for the relationship. ☹️

For loyal loving hearts, this is often something we…don’t wanna know.

So…we don’t set boundaries.

Because we can’t. 👀

As long as we don’t set any boundaries, we can keep living in our pretend world of, “everything’s fine — it’ll all work out.” 🫣

If we set actual boundaries, we’re going to have to face their response to them.

And then we’re going to have to do something about that. 😥

Sometimes it feels easier to just…not.

But this keeps us firmly locked in a cycle of denial, hurt and misery.

When there’s no easy answer, sometimes that is the answer:

There’s no easy answer.

And that’s good to know.

Because it helps us refine our boundaried questions:

What behaviors of mine will keep me stuck in a cycle of misery and hurt?

What behaviors of mine will (safely) move me closer to the life I want in the long-term?

And that helps us find our boundaries.

Even if they hurt a bit at first. Which they probably will.
