YOU ARE ADVISED TO REMAIN CALM
Panic will not be addressed
Questions will not be answered
IN THE EVENT OF DISRESPECT:
Boundaries are to be maintained
Firmly
Without warning
Without explanation
Posture matters
Remain upright
Stand tall
Engagement is discouraged
Negotiation is denied
CLARIFICATION:
Disrespect rarely announces itself
It arrives as familiarity
as urgency
as expectation
as the belief
that you will bend again
None of these alter protocol
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO:
Explain your tone
Justify your distance
Soften your refusal
Prove your intent
Be understood
Be liked
Be remembered fondly
Silence is sufficient
It will be interpreted as distance
This is acceptable
PLEASE NOTE:
Enforcement of boundaries
will result in loss
Relationships sustained by tolerance
will fail under clarity
This outcome
is expected
This is not an error
This is not grounds for revision
This is the cost
PROCEDURE:
Pause
Breathe
Remain where you are
Do not shrink to be understood
Do not bend to be kept
Compliance with yourself
takes precedence
What leaves
was never secured
FAILURE TO COMPLY:
Will result in continued exposure
to erosion
to self-abandonment
to gradual disappearance
These damages
are irreversible
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:
This notice remains in force
without appeal
without expiration
No further notice will be provided
AUTHORIZED RESPONSE:
Intact.
