The boundaries we create often come from the experiences we face in life. Our defense mechanism can be put up so we do not have to feel the same pain we felt in the past. Those boundaries are not a bad thing. After placing them up, serenity is easier to gain. We can have peace in knowing we don't have to deal with the drama, stress, and disappointment that could come by letting outside forces impact what is inside. It is more than ok to close dark chapters so that your light can shine.
