It lasts a lifetime…

the moment when you set your first boundary.

At first, you feel like you have committed a crime.

that you have caused some irreversible injury.

It lasts a lifetime…

the moment when you start protecting your energy,

from those who cannot accompany you on your climb.

Letting go, you’ll find is the only remedy.

It lasts a lifetime…

the moment when you realise that you love yourself more.

Your higher self starts to sing like a wind chime

when you walk away from a relationship that has become a chore.

It lasts a lifetime…

the moment that you stop giving yourself away.

And start seeing yourself as sublime.

Their happiness is not your responsibility anyway.

The boundary brings you closer to yourself.

The boundary is not to hurt them, but it is saying “I love myself”.
