Reminder for today: It's okay to have limits. It's healthy to set boundaries. You don't need to take on other people's stuff, and you don't need to give your energy away and get nothing in return.
Don't cut off your branches and give them to people/causes who will only toss them aside. It takes time for branches to grow back, and you need them to live. It's OK to keep your branches for yourself.

To continue the metaphor: it's kind to offer shelter under your branches, but if the person says that's not enough, you don't need to start cutting off your branches and handing them over. It's OK to say no (which could look like unfollowing/blocking, taking a break, not returning texts, etc.)
