do I have to 

JUSTIFY MYSELF

for 

stating 

a clear boundary. 

 

no. absolutely not. 

 

because 

this is my 

 

PHYSICAL

EMOTIONAL

SPIRITUAL

body 

 

+ it is my duty 

to protect it 

from harm. 

 

it is exhausting 

to DO THINGS 

against my nature 

out of politeness. 

 

but sure. 

go on 

+ EXPLAIN TO ME 

what 

my actual needs are.
