the universe said you are stronger than you know

For the record I'm taking care. I have my bird here in a closet until it passes. It just sucks and I'm really tired of this and I'm really not happy to be hit with flashbacks I had started thinking were done

As we do.

– Franz Kafka

A small series of sketches about severe co-dependency, each one was made during a meltdown last year.

[Text ID: “You’ve given me a bad name / I’ll only make worse.”]

Stick by your word and stand firm with your boundaries. Don’t allow people to poke, probe, and push your limits, boundaries, and no zones after you told them not to. Don’t be fooled, all people need is one warning to get the memo that something is off limits, but no one will respect a person who is all talk and no action. Put action behind your words, no one will take your words seriously if you don’t, empty threats get you nowhere. People only continue trying you when they know/think they can get away with it. Say it with me, first times a warning, second times a done deal. Don’t disrespect yourself by going against your boundaries and personal code.
