Antoinette, it has been an incredible fete to write and give so much of yourself on a daily basis (and so beautifully). Wow! Not an accomplishment many can say they've done. I look forward to your Monday writings. Write on, friend!
Ahhhhhh, thank you! And I'll still be writing and posting daily, just not emailing daily. That way folks can remain in choice because Boundary Queen strikes again!! But in the most beautiful of ways.
Love this for you and us! Impressed how you invited him to participate. I am still learning how to communicate clearly on boundaries, but I am practicing.
Oooh, also please let me know if there's anything I can explore in a post to support you in your practice. I love writing about boundaries, and am moving through my next boundaries series because someone recently tested my boundaries in a new and improved way. So more to come, and I'm happy to incorporate something aligned with your exploration if I have something valuable to add.
So... I am emerging from a long period of disability. Pretty solid 10 years... 15 years overall, so it's been a JOURNEY. The "normal" world is very weird now. Always was, but I lost all my habitual narratives. Talking to people IRL is still an adventure. It's an incredible experience of non-attachment because I am not in much expectation, it's exploration and rehabilitation. I learn a lot from every experience. I am noticing that what I am creating are my new boundaries, my new space to exist in, and through observation I am learning what they are, and seeing that I don't have a lot of constructive techniques, mine have always been a touch violent.
What is particularly a thing and always has been is people's projections. I am tired of others setting the narrative but I also don't want to be in the position of explaining myself. I want to set boundaries clearly and kindly to myself and others. Not just the big things, all the sneaky little ones.
Thank you for sharing your journey through disability. This is a long journey and has me have even greater appreciation for the gifts you share. Thank you also for sharing your current journey with boundaries. I will keep these in mind for when I return to my boundary series 2.0.
Oh, I desperately needed help with recognizing where I had choice. Once I put the shame aside and acknowledged my ignorance and desire to grow, it was clear I needed a village and that he needed to be part of that. I often do this for others now. I make requests and immediately say that they can say "no" because I love the word "no." I love it when people are in choice!! Even if it hurts my feelings a little in the beginning.
