#maintain

He understands why people hold hands: he'd always thought it was about possessiveness, saying this is mine. But it's about maintaining contact. It is about speaking without words. It is about I want you with me and don't go.

On god I used to pray for times like these (at least two active kakanaru posters on the tag) 😫😫😫

boundaries are the most direct way for you to protect your energy. make them clear for your sake. if they aren't, people will just keep taking more and more, not maliciously, but because they won't know when you need space or when you are feeling depleted. creating boundaries is a proactive way of designing your life. to help maintain your inner and outer vibrancy, you must decide with clarity who and what can enter your space and when. boundaries are not about being overly strict or mean; they are about using your awareness of what is genuinely good for you to build a sanctuary that supports your growth. in a world where there is a constant battle for your attention and a potentially overwhelming amount of information, you need proper digital and in-person boundaries to support your mental health.
