Dear Letter,
It has been a hooot minute. I was taking a study break and decided let's catch up. I was looking through my notes app and saw a note I wrote about a year and some change back about boundaries. At the time my mindset was things I wanted to live by or a big nono at my big age. As I read the note, I will say there are some I am still working on mastering (listen all I do in life is try my best). Anyways the "rules" go like this:
Try your best and put God first
Look out for number 2
If it feels toxic, don't entertain. If it looks toxic, don't entertain. If it sounds toxic, don't entertain.
Whoever cheats on someone, shall not be trusted.
Never play judge, juror, & executioner. You are not God.
Don't overstay your welcome.
Stop playing saviour in everyone's story. You are not Jesus.
You can't help everyone, especially if they aren't willing to help themselves.
If it costs your peace and faith, don't pay up.
There is a fine line between saving and helping. Remember that!
Walk in discernment, exercise it with wisdom.
Never be put in a position where you have to choose between loyalty to yourself and loyalty to other people.
Do not entertain people who do not respect you.
If someone ghosts you, respect the dead and keep it moving.
I am not in the ministry of blind loyalty. Everyone is getting checked.
Mind the business that pays you.
You are human not a machine, give yourself the same grace you offer others.
Don't give your power away!
The moment he raises his hand at you, leave the relationship IMMEDIATELY and cut all ties!
Forgiveness doesn't equal access.
P.S: There is no hierarchy to any of these "rules", its just how I wrote them as time passed by.
Until Next Time,
D
