“Access Denied: This Energy Isn’t Free”

I’M DONE. D-O-N-E.
You hear me?
I’m not your open-door policy, your 24/7 hotline. I’m not your time-sponge, your emotional errand-runner, or the blank canvas for your chaos.
CLOSING OFF ISN’T COLD. IT’S CLARITY. You think I’m being distant? No, I’m being protective. Of me. My peace. My mind. My calendar. You had your chance. I answered your midnight texts. Listened to your never-ending rants. Gave you time I didn’t even HAVE. And now you act brand new when I say "no"?
MY “NO” IS A SENTENCE. FULL STOP.
You don’t get access to my energy just because you’re loud. You don’t get my time just because you’re disorganized. Your urgency is not my obligation. So, here’s a newsflash: I’M UNAVAILABLE. UNPLUGGED. UNBOTHERED. Put it on a billboard.
I’VE GOT BOUNDARIES NOW. SHARP ONES. NON-NEGOTIABLE ONES.
Because I’ve seen what happens when I give too much. When I say yes to you, I say no to me. And I’m done doing that. This is my clean break. My hell no. My watch me choose me moment.
So next time you come knocking, asking for just a quick favor, just a moment of my time,
Lastly,
I’ve got three words for you: NOT. MY. PROBLEM. Declare Your Boundary
End your entry with a personal boundary statement. “From now on, I no longer ______. I give myself permission to ______. My peace is non-negotiable.”
