One of the most damaging beliefs in relationships is this:
โIf you have nothing to hide, you should have nothing to protect.โ
That sounds logical until you apply it everywhere else.
Most people lock their front doors.
Most people have passwords on their devices.
Most people do not share every thought that enters their mind.
That does not make them suspicious.
It makes them human.
Wanting personal boundaries is not an admission of guilt.
It is simply an acknowledgement that every person deserves some level of autonomy.
Love should bring two people together.
It should not erase the existence of either one.

May the years ahead be kinder and richer than the ones behind us. May we grow into the people weโre meant to become and may that journey carry us to breathtaking places along the way.
