Warmth with Walls

Still kind—just not to everyone.

I’m still kind. Still loving. Still full of care for others.
But now, I’ve learned a few lessons.
This time in my life isn’t about becoming cold or distant.
It’s about choosing peace.
It’s about knowing that not everyone should have easy access to my heart and energy.
I’ve stopped giving so much of myself to people who don’t show up when I need them.
I’ve stopped saying yes when I should’ve said no.
I’ve learned that it’s okay to protect myself.
This isn’t about being angry or bitter.
It’s about setting healthy boundaries.
I still have a good heart, and I still care deeply.
But now, I’m more careful about who I let in.
My heart is still open—but there’s a door now.
And not everyone gets a key.
