“Boundaries are the lines we draw around our time, energy and emotions to protect our wellbeing. They are not walls built to shut others out, but fences with gates that can open and close. ... Many people struggle with boundaries because they equate them with selfishness or conflict. ... Yet saying yes when you mean no breeds resentment, which is far more toxic than an honest refusal” — Ajmal, from the book "Borders of the Inner World"
