Hey everyone. Okay so something that we talked about in class this week that I have been thinking a lot about is boundaries. A boundary is like a fence that we put up around ourselves or around our relationship with others. There are three main types of boundaries: a rigid boundary (which is like a brick wall or fence), a clear boundary (which is like a picket fence), and an open boundary (which is like fence posts in the ground, with no actual fence up). It is important for us to have boundaries in every relationship that we have. The type of relationship (the closeness we have with the person or the amount of information that we share with the person) will determine what kind of boundary we have in our relationship. I have been thinking about my relationships and the boundaries that I have in them, and I challenge you all to do the same. It has been an interesting experience for me to evaluate my relationships and see areas where I can be more open with someone, and also areas that I might need to close the relationship up a little bit. I hope your findings are as interesting to you as mine are to me.
