Aries

When someone keeps pushing against the same line you have drawn, they are testing whether you mean what you said or whether you were just making conversation. The second push is never about the rule. It is about whether the person who made the rule is the same person who has to hold it when holding it costs something. You discover things about yourself in these moments that you cannot discover any other way. The boundary teaches you what you actually think is worth defending, and what you were only saying because it sounded reasonable at the time.
