The Lost Art of Respecting Boundaries. [hopefully it will be found]

The fact that people as whole have lost of sense of boundaries baffles me. I was not raised to be nosey and not accepting of one's life decision because I don't happen to agree with it. I was taught to mind my own business. Spend more time focusing on myself and my flaws as a human and less on others and theirs. The glorification of sights like TMZ and Media Takeout has got us thinking that it is okay to apply this downright nosiness to our own lives. What sad is people have stopped teaching their children fundamentals of boundaries which in turn has left them without the necessary knowledge of tact. They have taught them to disguise this behavior as genuine concern because we are friends. If my friend does not want to disclose something is not any of my business anyway who am I to get mad? Who am I to be upset and pitch a fit about their life decisions? This is not my child that I am trying to train up in the way they should go. This is my friend. And when they are ready they will come to me and seek comfort or advice or both. Every detail of their life is not necessary for my daily knowledge. Every decision they make should not be under my scrutiny. There are questions that are off limits. And if I decide to tell you my "truths" they deserves full disclosure. When did it come acceptable for people to feel entitle to know every waking detail of another person's life. I am completely in awe of this new widely accepted notion because it is wrong. Boundaries are meant to be respected. Privacy is an inalienable right that should not be disregarded. It is sad that people have forgotten the true meaning of minding their business. And because that have forgotten they are not teaching the generations to come which mean that the children of our future are royally fucked.

Love is a powerful thing. So powerful it can be overwelming. Whether it is a love for a friend or a significant other it is one of those things hard to let go once it is there. It may be a thin line between love and hate but that line may be long and strong. I've times wondered because the only way I know how to love anyone is hard and strong that it's a weakness. A parasite preying on the inner walls of my heart. Because I love so hard I am constantly hurt and let down by people who I have given my unconditional love to. It has gotten to a point where I refuse to let myself develop new friendships and new potential love interest. I feel damaged like a wrecking ball have broken my ability to want to feel the undeniable power of unconditional love. I have never wanted to close myself up but now I can't help it. I keep new people out and even other ppl that I have grown to love at a new found distance. I am walking in a new found terriorty that I am not used to. A coldness I am not welcoming but it has over taken my ability to fight it. I wonder am I alone in this feeling? Am I the only one dealing with this? This closed feeling. It's almost as overwelming as this love and the pain cause with the people that come with it. Maybe the key to true forgiveness is the forgetting part because with the memories you can experience the pain of the situation all over again. God isn't through with me yet and this revelation that I had compelled me to share. Leave your thought if you want.
