In martial arts, every time you graduate, move to another level, you don't forget everything you've done. You build on it, but it's always there.
We can trust ourselves to know when our boundaries are being violated.
Don't violate your own code of values and ethics, but don't waste energy trying to make other people violate theirs.
I used to be afraid of pain, didn't take a lot of risks, especially in love. I'm not as afraid anymore. I'm more spontaneous, more likely to say what I think.
Feel what you feel, know what you know, and set your relatives free to do the same.
Relationships are where we take our recovery on the road.
