Boundaries have gotten a bad wrap. Just the act of setting one has a hint of negativity, as it indicates aggression from the outside, no matter how mild.
I prefer ‘Legend’.
Not just because it’s a cooler word.
You see, legend is just another word for map key, and a map key is essential if you want to get the lay of anyone’s land.
A legend, like a boundary, indicates places to avoid or areas of danger, but a legend is also critical if you want to chart the fastest route to someone’s summit. It’s not designed to keep anyone out, but rather to provide all the different ways one can get in, as well as some beautiful points of interest along the way.
You are uncharted territory for someone.
Give them more than your borders.
