Sometimes I wonder. Why we put boundaries where we do. I mean, we have personal boundaries, emotional boundaries, physical boundaries. I know that some of them are put up when we are hurt. If you put them there, you should be able to take them down again, right? but it doesn't work that way. Sometimes you don't evem know that they exist until someone steps on one and you realize that you did put it there. It is always easier to see where other peopla have put theirs. I know why things generally hurt and annoy my husband, but I don't always know why things hurt and annoy me. Why is it easier to see with his boundaries, but not with my own. And when I allow someone to cross my boundaries, why do I feel like I have become so vulnerable. I know that I am to an extent, but the people I let cross those boundaries are people I should trust, yet I am still afraid to let them.
Just thinking......
Because of Virginia's latest post on being open to write exactly what she feels, I have decided that I am going to try it for a while. I will let everyone know how it goes......
