It’s always difficult when you love so hard. You give everyone your all and want nothing but the best for them, but don’t forget about yourself. Who is appreciating you and returning the favor?
You find yourself giving your love to everyone, you’d drop anything for a friend in a moments notice. You end up putting them before yourself and you’re proud of that. You wouldn’t have it any other way because you love them and they’re so incredibly important to you. You’re the girl they go to after midnight when they’re in tears and have no one else. Maybe they have someone else, but either way they go to you. You’re the one who gets called when there’s a broken heart. You’re the one who gets called when they need a shoulder to cry on, when they need someone to listen, when they need a ride, when they need a favor. You never turn them down because that’s not who you are. How could you ever say no? In fact I don’t know if no is in your vocabulary when it comes to your friends.
But, why do you find yourself looking so hard when you need someone there for you. How come when you’re the one who needs that car ride, that shoulder, that helping hand, you can’t find it? Sometimes the reality of it is that you end up not being able to rely on other people. It’s not that they don’t care but they can’t really help you like you know how to help. You have a friend or two that listen but it just seems like it’s not the kind of help you need.
Sometimes though, you want everyone so happy that you forgot that you need to be happy too. You love everyone so much that you focus all your time on making them happy, you want to help them as much as you can and you want to give them all your love, but who is doing the same for you? Focus on you and do what you need to do because that will help you help others in the long run. It’s hard to give out so much love when you don’t get the same in return. It’s your life and there is only one of you so make sure you take care of her. You can’t always make everyone else happy, especially at the sacrifice of your own happiness. Sometimes you have to say no. Sometimes they come to you just because they know you will be there regardless, and sometimes they take advantage of your heart. They use you for your heart and then aren’t there when you need the same, and you’re okay with that. It’s okay because either way you want to help them. But please, don’t sacrifice your happiness for people who won’t sacrifice theirs for you. Be careful who you give your heart to, because some people won’t appreciate it the way they should. You need to be responsible for your own happiness before you are responsible for anyone else’s. That hearts a gift, be careful who you give it to.
