Boundaries Quotes Novels & Stories

nanunubok na sabi ulit nito na siyang nagpapikit na sa kaniya. “Damn it, you misunderstood me again. Hindi ko alam kung kaedad ba kita or just playing on my nerves. I don't have any anger issues with them. What I am trying to say is, they might be hurt if they keep throwing trash into themselves. We have a different perspective and life journey, if they don't want to become miserable in this battle they must respect themselves first to become a respectable person too. We create boundaries by being one of those yet we can become the worst kind of nonsense if we let others ruin us in an unrespectable way,” depensa niyang hindi alam kung paano ipapaintindi ang punto rito.

Tinanggal niya muli ang kaniyang salamin at marahas na hinilot ang tulay ng kaniyang ilong. "I’m not being dramatic. I’m just being logical," he started, his gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that made my breath hitch. "You made it clear that my presence, my humor, and my touch make you uncomfortable. In business, when a partner sets a boundary, you respect it to avoid further liability. I’m treating you with the exact professional courtesy you demanded."

Dahan-dahang tumango si Sue. “Okay.” “Okay?” tumawa si Sue ng mahina pero walang saya. “Then, enlighten me.” Lumapit siya ng kaunti, sapat para maramdaman nito ang bigat ng tono niya pero hindi para maulit ang kahapon. “I’m not just some guy, Sue,” mahinahon pero mariin niyang sabi. “There are lines. Boundaries. Once we cross that, it’s not just about us.”

sabi niya. "I didn't say it was a weakness." "But you're treating it like one." Napahinga ako nang malalim. "I'm just trying to avoid problems before they happen. If I keep my boundaries clear, then I don't have to worry about becoming too attached or expecting something from people that they never promised to give me."

“Mine. Not yours. Remember that.” I rolled my eyes slightly but kept my voice calm. “Relax lang, sir. Gusto ko sana maglagay ng ibang gamit dito. It’s just small stuff. Plants, maybe a lamp. Nothing major. Kung papayag ka.” He exhaled slowly, like I was trying his patience on purpose. “Small stuff can get out of hand,” he warned. “Don’t overstep your boundaries.”

Pilit nitong winawaksi ang mga kamay ko. "Ayokong andito ka. I have set boundaries with you and you..", kinusot nito ang kwelyo ng damit ko. "your presence just makes that boundaries invisible over time. And I know that will fuck me up, so I don't want that, I dont want you, so leave!", nag-iinit ang katawan nito, nilalagnat siya. "Tumigil ka, kailangan mong magpahinga, nilalagnat ka, Jorge"

"You know, one for the road?" "I can’t, Ica." Isang malakas na pagbuga ng hangin ang ginawa ni Arden. "Hindi nga dapat na nangyari ang mga nangyari sa atin kagabi. Hindi na natin dapat pa na balikan ang yugto na iyon sa buhay natin. Nothing good will come out of it if we keep on forgetting our boundaries."

Parang bata kong salita. “I didn't mean to act like that. Alam ko naman kung saan lang boundary ko e. Hindi naman ako lalampas sa expectations mo sa akin. I will set a limit between us.” I said. “Then, what about Uncle? What will he think if you put boundaries?” Hindi agad ako nakasagot kay Cathy, bagkus niyakap ko na lang siya ng mas mahigpit at iniisip ng mabuti ang isasagot sa kanya.

sabi niya, “hanggang saan ka handang umabot?” “Kahit saan,” sagot ko agad. “Kahit masira ang pangalan mo?” tanong niya. “Oo,” sagot ko. “Mas kaya kong mawala ang reputasyon ko kaysa sa anak ko.” Natahimik siya saglit. “Then you need to stand your ground.” “Paano?” tanong ko. “Set boundaries,” sagot niya. “Hindi mo siya pwedeng palaging saluhin. Kailangan niyang magdesisyon para sa sarili niya.”

Tapos napatingin siya sa akin. “Seriously? Is that a wall?” “Boundary,” sagot ko. Bahagyang kumurba ang labi niya, halatang pinipigil ang tawa. “Do I look like I can cross that boundary right now?” tanong niya. Tiningnan ko ang benda niya, saka ang mukha niyang medyo namumutla pa rin. “Para hindi ka makakagalaw nang mabilis,” sabi ko. “Mas mabuti nang safe.”
