Boundaries

By Uglytruthis

Love does not abuse. Selfishness and control abuse.

All I can feel is violation in my soul…

Rotting roses

Rusty thorns

Try as I may, I can not purgue the feeling. The guilt lingers still…

Yesterday I picked up the book Better Boundaries by Jan Black & Greg Enns. I would highly recommend this book, being just a few chapters into it. Rather than giving the formula of how to say no, the book speaks of approaching boundries with the mindset of treasuring yourself.

As I work through the book I relized how much I hate who I am…

It talks about how your demeanor show signs of how you should be treated. In retrospect I realized how inappropriately I have been dressing. A cry for the very attention I got growing up as a little girl.

I never learned to respect my body, no one else seemed to.

What is your demeanor saying about you? What do you want it to attract in the way you act, talk and dress today? How much do you treasure yourself?

Stay strong <3 You are not alone
