You are allowed to change the rules you live by.
You are allowed to protect your peace.
You are allowed to say: “This is too much for me right now.”
You are allowed to want more space, more rest, more truth.

You are allowed to build a life where your nervous system doesn’t always have to be on alert.

And it begins with boundaries.
Not as punishment.
Not as isolation.
But as the quiet decision to matter to yourself.
