Your time, your energy, your compassion, your presence is valuable. It must, then, be earned and deserved by the people who you allow into your life and give these priceless gifts to.

The process of setting these standards is oft-referred to as creating boundaries, which is something most people are never actually taught, encouraged, or equipped to do.

If you read something in this article that resonates with you, let me know in the comments, or highlight the sentence(s), or give a clap. This helps me
