Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad.

Vulnerability is basically uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.
