“Boundaries can protect our energy and mental state. Setting boundaries can be an act of self-approval that fosters a harmonious relationship with others and oneself. Honoring our needs and making them known prevents resentment and exhaustion. ("I am marking my Boundaries - Je plantes mes Piquets " )”

Their stringiness may cause frustration or alienation and often creates tension between the stability they provide and our systematic urge to transcend them. ("When forgetting the rules of the game")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“When we home in on the sidelined, we can give them a glimmer of hope. Trapped in direst conditions and stuck in the darkest corners of their being, they sense a splinter of human warmth and a flake of joy, thus escaping the anonymity enforced by their social stance. ("Homeless, down in the corner")”
