The biggest myth about boundaries? That they create distance.
In reality, boundaries are the foundation that allows relationships to flourish. When we don't have clear emotional boundaries, we become reactive sponges - absorbing every emotion, taking on every problem, and losing ourselves in the process.

But here's what changes everything: the space we create.
When you stop taking on other people's emotional baggage as your own, something beautiful happens. You create room for genuine connection. You show up as yourself, not as a reflection of someone else's chaos. You respond instead of react. You love without losing yourself.
This isn't about building walls - it's about building bridges with intention. It's about saying "I care about you AND I'm responsible for my own emotional well-being." It's about understanding that you can hold space for someone's experience without making it your own.
The relationships that thrive are the ones where both people feel safe to be authentically themselves. Where support doesn't mean sacrifice. Where love doesn't mean losing your identity.
