There is no part of me that belongs to another.
I choose to share at my own discretion.
Whether it be my words, my thoughts, my presence, it is but mine to command.
If I choose to share myself with you, it is not a license to do as you please.
I am not your toy. I do not belong to you.
If I say no, it should not need to be repeated, ever.
