Boundaries
This saying means you have to have enough love for yourself to not accept anything less than amazing. Your love for yourself will teach people how to love you and what you deserve. When you love yourself you are perfect and fine singularly alone, you are whole, you are one. Until your love for self outweighs the bullshit you will continue to accept less, you are stronger, better, and worth way more. If you are having doubts, or negative feelings, check them against the measure of your own self-worth... What do you deserve? Draw that line and make it high!
Manipulators and users don't think of anything but their own means to an end. Setting personal boundaries and knowing when to say "No." is your power and right. Use it to protect yourself from being used and abused. Set your limits; know what you can and absolutely cannot accept, then strictly enforce it. Sometimes, you have to be strong for yourself and what you stand for even if that means walking your own path. Only you can allow/feel what you accept; respect yourself enough to demand that other’s respect you. If they cannot respect your boundaries then are they even worth it? If they are acting badly then they are obviously ok with their own bad behavior, or they wouldn’t be doing it in the first place. Calling them out on what they do is a waste of time and effort. Remember, they are the only one’s responsible for themselves; you cannot change people. Simply get up, say nothing, and walk away. Sometimes, that is all some people deserve; especially yourself, keep your dignity don’t be tempted to stoop to their level that is what they want so they can then deflect it back on you. Do not absorb the bullshit and never lower yourself for other people who just can’t get it. You are worth more and better than that, trust your intuition.

Drama
"Drama doesn't just walk into your life out of nowhere; either you create it, invite it, or associate with it."
Some people just can't help but drag you into their bullshit and drama, they can't fix their own problems or themselves because they are weak excuses for human beings. Everything they touch or do gets fucked up. They cannot and will not accept any responsibility for their own ability to change and grow, remaining stuck in a perpetual cycle of drama and issues. Until these people truly stop looking externally for an excuse and start owning their problems only then will they be able to grow and change. They will remain immature and uneducated and further unable to face and fix their own problems. Like a tornado sucking everything in wreaking havoc their problems compound and grow upon themselves spewing out on to anyone that happens to cross their path. Facing themselves and truly looking into the mirror is beyond comprehension because the easy way out is well easy. Unfortunately, the only way is to face one's problems is not to run away from it or blame it on anyone else, and least of all put your problems on someone else. You must learn to be able to dig yourself out, be self-reliant, and self-sufficient.

Flaws and All
We must all learn an acceptable level of tolerance of the people we love and the people who aggravate us. We cannot take upon ourselves the negativeness of others. We must learn to be above that, to live in compassion, kindness, understanding, and empathy. No person is perfect we all have flaws and faults, imperfections and insecurities. We cannot allow ourselves to perpetuate the cycle of negativity by feeding into it. Love conquers hate, hate perpetuates hate. If someone is meeting you with anger you have to realize that you don’t know their full story or the reasoning behind their current mood or situation, do not allow them to affect you or harm you, whatever they are experiencing is their life not yours. Find ways to feel sorry for them and possibly lift them up; this could be the one chance you have to make a positive impact in that person’s life changing the course of their day, week, or life... how simply miraculous is that?
