One thing I really can’t stand? Being asked “why?” — especially after I’ve already said no.
“Do you want this?”
“No, thank you.”
“Why not?”
…Because I don’t like it. Because I’m not in the mood. Because I said no.
Not everything needs an explanation. I used to feel like I had to justify my choices, even the small ones. But then I saw a clip of Mary-Kate and Ashley in an interview where one of them said, “No is a full sentence.” And honestly? That’s been my favorite quote ever since.
It’s simple. It’s respectful. And it’s a reminder that boundaries don’t always need backstories. 💬❌
