“It’s my natural response to just about everything I’m “supposed” to do: Tough titties. I’ve said it to having kids, to driving a car, to doing business the way everyone else does. I don’t feel like it– I don’t want to. I can’t, because I don’t want to.” –Laura Belgray
Intro
People say you should use boundaries to protect your energy. I like to say the boundaries are my energy.
As much as I can, I like to lean into desire more than pain.
It’s my natural response to just about everything I’m “supposed” to do: Tough titties. I’ve said it to having kids, to driving a car, to leaving the nest at a normal age, to getting a job right after school, to doing business the way you’re supposed to. Tough titties. I don’t feel like it, I don’t want to, I can’t because I don’t want to.
