Aquarius

The boundary that has been tested this week was never really about the other person. It was about whether you would hold to something that costs you more to maintain than it saves you in daily peace. Most people negotiate their principles down when the price gets high enough, but you have been measuring the cost differently. You keep coming back to what kind of person you want to be in five years, not what kind of day you want to have tomorrow. The quiet that follows holding firm is not the same as the quiet that follows giving in.
