Hello everyone and welcome back to the Thoughts that Bind. (And if you’re new here, a warm welcome to you!) Today we’re talking about boundaries, and specifically cutting people out or “going no-contact”. It’s a subject I’ve covered before on this site a while ago, and I suggest you read this post first, if you haven’t already, as it is a good precursor to our discussion today.

Hello, and welcome back to The Thoughts that Bind! This post is really going to be a general post, which I think is fitting given the topic at hand. But luckily, it’s something that we all can relate to. And that’s the idea that you’re never really going to be done with this life-learning thing.

Today I realized how much of my time I’m wasting chasing goals that I feel like I should be doing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like they’re not good goals or anything, but I just don’t think they’re mine anymore.

Hello, and welcome back to the Thoughts that Bind. And if you’re new here, welcome. Now, as you may or may not know, I’m Rebekah. And other than keeping this website maintained, I also like to make music. Sometimes I like to use music to simply express myself, while other times the songs I make have more to do with how I see the world. I found that there was some overlap with things I wanted to say to my readers here, and in my music. And so, I decided to begin a series wherein I talk about certain songs and the viewpoint that informs them.

Hello, and welcome back to the Thoughts that Bind. And if you’re new, welcome! Great to have you. I talk a lot on this site about how to improve your life, and things that I learn and observe along the way. It’s true, on this site, we love introspection! And I was feeling introspective earlier. Instead of writing a letter to my past self or working it out in my journal, I realized there are a few quick things that I wanted to share with my readers. Things that I wish I would’ve learned sooner, so that you can avoid having to learn the long, hard way. So this one will be a bit of a shorter post today, but I hope you enjoy all the same. Let’s get started!
