Long rant def I’m always wary of people who don’t seem to have boundaries when it comes to their personal lives and ambitions. Like, how can somebody tell you not to pursue your master’s degree and you actually agree because you’re in love? Or you give someone the money you’ve put aside for your tuition when you need that money yourself? I’m not even talking about relationships alone. I think everybody should have certain lines that people cannot cross, regardless of how much you love them, how much you trust them or how close you are. There should be things you are simply not willing to compromise on. Your education, your health, your relationship with God, your personal development, your financial security, your ambitions. I know there are nuances to these things. (okay to disagree). That you are so accommodating that anybody can talk you out of something important to your future or convince you to give up something you genuinely need. Whew! You should have things that are simply not up for negotiation.
