“Please remember you do not need to have a life partner/s or children to ask that people come and see you. You are allowed to host gatherings, set boundaries for yourself/rules for your home and you are allowed to uphold these expectations for those you allow into your space.”

“Setting boundaries can initially bring about feelings of guilt, especially for groups that have been socialized to be nurturing and pleasing … Thankfully, the guilt fades with consistent boundary setting.”
