It seems to be the most common theme in my life at this moment- boundaries. I used to not really have any. Completely unguarded to everyone and everything, and let me tell you, after a while it becomes pretty exhausting. I don't mind giving freely and without expectation, but I also have to consider that just like any account be it a bank account or a human life account- we all have to replenish the source or we go bankrupt.
Think about the reason why we have lacked boundaries in the past. I bet it had a considerably amount of eagerness to please others or woo someone over involved with your "no job to big" mentality. After a while and standing on this verse in the bible, I have realized that the people who truly love you will love you know matter what. Who you are in your purest form (and not over exhausting yourself jumping through someone else's hoops) should be enough for them to be impressed. After that it is all sprinkles and whip cream.
I challenge you to create a boundary for yourself. It can be setting aside time, or just learning how to say no certain things. It is great discipline and can really make you feel more in control of your life and emotions.

Rise to Me by the Decemberists
Just posting a song that moved me today on my way to work. Gives me courage to stay strong, and to not become bitter. Although this song has been mentioned it is about Decemberists' Colin Meloy's son, who has autism. Great song though. Stay strong people.

Big mountain, wide river,
There's an ancient call,
These tree trunks, these stream beds,
Leave our bellies full
They sing out, I am gonna stand my ground
You rise to me and I'll blow you down
I am gonna stand my ground
You rise to me and I'll blow you down
Hey Henry, can you hear me,
Let me see those eyes
This distance, between us
Can seem a mountain size
But boy, you are gonna stand your ground
They rise to you you'll blow them down
Let me see you stand your ground
They rise to you you'll blow them down
My darling, my sweetheart,
I am in your sway,
Two cold climbs, come spring time
So let me hear you say, my love
I am gonna stand my ground, they rise to me and I'll blow them down
I am gonna stand my ground, they rise to me and I'll blow them down
'Cause I am gonna stand my ground
You rise to me and I'll blow you down
