Tessa ReneeDisruption thrives on access. The only way someone can throw you off balance, steal your peace, or waste your time is if you let them in. And once I understood that, the block button became less of an option and more of a necessity.
You can’t disturb me if you can’t reach me. You can’t spin stories in my head if I’ve muted your voice. You can’t drain me with your chaos if I’ve shut the door. And the beauty of it? It’s instant. One click and the noise stops.
People will tell you it’s extreme. That blocking is “too much.” But tell me what’s too much about peace? Tell me what’s dramatic about protecting my time, my energy, my sanity? Letting someone disturb me just to look polite isn’t noble, it’s self-sabotage.
Blocking isn’t about punishing someone. It’s about saving myself. It’s about choosing calm over conflict, silence over spin, clarity over chaos. The moment I realized I could end an entire cycle of stress with one button, I stopped hesitating.
Now, my peace isn’t negotiable. Because if you can’t reach me, you can’t disturb me. And that’s exactly how it should be.
Final Thought: Boundaries are the volume control for your life and sometimes, mute is the only answer.
