You don’t have to say yes just to keep a friend. You don’t have to agree just to avoid being alone. You don’t have to laugh at what makes you uncomfortable.
Real friendships don’t pressure — They *protect*.
And if you’re constantly drained, doubting yourself, or walking on eggshells… That’s not friendship. That’s emotional exhaustion.
> Peace is a boundary. > Saying no is protection. > Walking away can be healing.
It’s okay to outgrow people. It’s okay to want more — more peace, more growth, more truth. It’s okay to choose yourself.
Surround yourself with people who: › Respect your space › Cheer for your wins › Call you higher, not lower › Bring calm, not chaos
Because the friends you keep shape the future you build.
