LOVE NOTES XXIX
No is a complete sentence.
No is a complete sentence.
It requires no explanation, no justification, and no defense. When spoken clearly and simply, it stands on its own, honoring both your boundary and your integrity.
Repeating no — or softening it with excess words — often arises from the urge to be understood, liked, or forgiven. Yet clarity needs no reinforcement. A single, honest no is enough. When allowed to stand, it teaches both us and others to respect the quiet authority of truth.
