Boundaries

Am going through this now. Even though I love my bestie, she made me feel guilty for calling her out on not respecting my boundaries. Made me feel like dirt.
I lived half of my life with a narcissistic dad and I'll be damned if someone else breaks my heart and spirit again.

"Can I let you in on a secret about friendships in adulthood

Sometimes they are really freaking hard.
Like, really freaking hard.

But so often the friends we have in our adult years are the only thing saving us from hitting rock bottom.

The truth is that even the strongest friendship bonds are not forged in stone. No, just as life is ever changing, friendships will always ebb and flow.

Sometimes your closest friends fade away into the background of your life.
Sometimes background friends somehow become part of your inner circle.

Sometimes brand new people enter your life and become the friends you never knew you needed.
Sometimes your heart aches because it misses the friendships that used to be but are no more.

No matter where you are in your adult friendship journey, don't overthink it and don't dwell in the past.

Instead, hold on tight and ride the friendship wave.

Welcome the ones that find their way to you.
Send peace to the ones who fade away.
Love the friends that are there right now."

Human beings are naturally social creatures, wired to seek connection and approval. But that doesn’t mean we owe the world an explanation for every choice we make. 
The right people will accept you for who you are. And for everyone else? You don’t owe them an explanation.

How you choose to spend, save, or invest your money is entirely up to you. Whether you’re splurging on something that makes you happy or being extra cautious with your budget, you don’t owe anyone an explanation.

People love to give unsolicited opinions about money—questioning why you bought something expensive or why you’re not spending more. But they’re not the ones living your life or handling your responsibilities.
