While my sister and her friend were playing with her doll, her friend thought that it would be a great idea to cut all of the dolls hair off, and proposed the idea to my sister. My sister hated the idea, but accepted anyway, and off went the hair. This is why she was crying.
Healthy Boundaries.
A lot of people don't have them. A lot of people do things that they simply don't want to do because they feel like they have to. I'm not talking about things like exercising(if only it was bad for you. ;) ), I'm talking about little things. When one of your friends wants to do something and you agree because you think they won't like you. It's a little bit different than peer pressure.
There have been instances in my life where I haven't had boundaries. And guess what? IT SUCKS. You end up doing things you're just not comfortable, and it hurts your relationship with someone, whether they know it or not.
The beautiful thing about the human race is that no one is the same. Everyone is different. Everyone has different comfort levels. I may be comfortable with something and my sister would be like, "NO WAY." Or my best friend could be comfortable with something and I could be squirming on the inside.
That's the beautiful thing. None of us are on the same level. We all need to decide our own healthy boundaries. I'm not talking about when someone comes and says, "Hey eat this brownie that's full of weed," because hopefully you're not STUPID and you know not to accept it. Everyone sets some sort of boundary when it comes to situations like that. But no one really focuses on the other boundaries, the smaller boundaries.
I am not really afraid of much. Most of my fears I run towards with open arms, because there's no other way to overcome them. There have been very few situations when I've wanted to say no to something but I've said yes anyway. And those few situations won't be shared with you. ;)
Please enjoy this attractive picture of me in a Mumu, because I'm done talking to you now.
