Shedding the Spikes

I've been thinking a lot, and I've come to the realization that spiky is not a good word for me.

Spiky implies a porcupine, a cactus, or a punker's hair. There is a sharpness implied that has the potential to hurt if you get too close.

That really is not my vibe. I'm flexible to an extent, but very much unyielding past a certain point. (This thing called boundaries -- if you haven't tried them, give em a shot -- they beat walls hands down.)

I really don't have a label for it. But who needs labels anyway?
