Setting boundaries –
What does it even mean?
Is it saying no? Is it saying stop? Is it saying
I don’t like that? I won’t do that?
Is it as simple as
sticking up for me?
Maybe I need skills
Maybe I need practice
Maybe I just need
to do it.
Setting limits can be awkward
The consequences unknown
The possibilities for
rejection
loom
But it’s worth it.
It’s worth it to be heard
able to voice how I feel
even to myself
It’s worth it to know
where I begin
and another person ends
It’s worth it to allow
each of us to fully experience
our own lives as they unfold
It’s worth it to feel
the freedom
of being myself
letting go of the need for approval
letting go of the need for perfection
letting go of the need to fix things
And being willing to
just be me.

Know who you are and what you will accept in a relationship. I had a man tell I needed to demonstrate my worth. Wow, are you serious. What does thing really mean. Show him what I got or made of as his potential woman is what he means. Prove myself, who do I look like. How do you prove your worth to another person. Shouldn’t he had come to this decision before approaching me. Especially intimately, it all seems like some competition with himself as the prize. Wow, I am not interested in someone who is only interested in himself.

Good for knowing your worth, Rochelle! We don’t need to prove our worth to anyone! …expect maybe sometimes to ourselves…
