I don’t raise my voice anymore…
I raise my standards.
There was a time I explained, tolerated, waited…
tried to see the good in people who showed me otherwise.
Not anymore.
Now?
My peace is protected.
My circle is solid.
And my boundaries are not up for negotiation.
Family on standby.
Energy aligned.
Access… restricted.
It’s not about being guarded.
It’s about being clear.
I don’t do confusion.
I don’t do inconsistency.
And I definitely don’t do second chances for the same behaviour.
If I step back, it’s intentional.
If I go quiet, it’s final.
Because I’ve learned something valuable:
I’m not difficult…
I’m just no longer available for anything that feels wrong.
Respect comes first.
Or not at all.
