What this page says
What you've drawn is a quiet pair of scissors. They're not asking you to walk away from anyone or destroy anything — they're asking you to distinguish: which of these things is truly yours to be responsible for, and which was simply set on you because you were so good at carrying it?
Why you drew this page
If your question involves a draining relationship, giving too much, a difficulty saying no, or being tied up in someone's expectations, the Book has turned to "set down what you shouldn't be carrying." You may have given more to a person or a role for so long that you've forgotten you were ever allowed to say no. You're not turning cold — you're finding your way back to a boundary.
What's actually keeping you stuck
You're afraid that letting go will make you seem selfish, cold, or not trying hard enough. But if something can only survive by requiring you to keep shrinking yourself, it may not be worth continuing. A healthy connection doesn't ask you to prove your loyalty through depletion.
One thing you can do first
Cut the smallest strand first: stop pre-managing someone else's feelings, stop agreeing to something you clearly don't want to do, stop translating other people's disappointment into your fault. You don't have to sever everything at once — just reclaim one small piece of thread. A boundary doesn't turn off love. It keeps love from being nothing but exhaustion. The space that opens up isn't emptiness — it means you have come back to yourself.
