Not a big, dramatic one. The kind that's easy to wave off if you want to. "It's not that serious." "They didn't mean anything by it." "You're overreacting." I've said all three of those things to myself in the last few days. But here's what I've been sitting with: a boundary doesn't become real the day someone respects it. It becomes real the day someone doesn't, and you find out what you actually do next. I didn't message anyone angry. I didn't post anything in the heat of it. I wrote down what actually happened, separate from what I felt about it. Because those are two different things, and conflating them is how you say something you can't take back. I still don't know exactly how I'll raise it. I know I will. I know it has to be about the boundary, not about winning, not about being right, not about making the other person feel small the way I felt small in that moment. Building something, a business, a reputation, a version of yourself you're proud of, means you're constantly deciding what you'll protect and what you'll let slide. This week I found out where one of my lines actually is. I don't have a clean ending for this one yet. Some things you post about after they're resolved. Some things you post about while you're still figuring out what resolved even looks like. This is one of the second kind. Following this, I'll share where the conflict resolution actually lands. #founderjourney #Boundaries #PersonalGrowth
