"Let the claws out when they need to be... Standing your ground, expressing your feelings and setting boundaries doesn't make you unkind, it makes you human." YES! I wish I had been aware of this in my 20s... It took another decade till I properly 'got' it. I'd add a few words in, that expressing your feelings and setting boundaries (assuming one is owning one's own part in one's feelings and expressing them in a fair way): "...makes you a balanced, responsible human".

Ooooooh! I almost want to edit the piece and add your words in there. That is so true, expression isn't always enough it needs to be fair.
