No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
At the risk of sounding incredibly selfish, I sometimes feel like people don't necessarily realize how much I give up for them, and how much I wish it were acknowledged sometimes. At the same time, I think I might not always realize or acknowledge other peoples' sacrifices that affect me.
Things I need to work on:
- Acknowledging others' sacrifices
- Not feeling like I 'need' something in return, rather, that seeing my friends happy is reward enough
- Actually meaning it when I make a sacrifice, instead of only meaning it until I think it through, then being miserable about committing to it
- My craaaaaaazy impatience
- Continuing to bring up issues with no clear resolution in sight, knowing full well that a resolution will come in due time
Are all people (myself included) naturally hypocritical to a point? Is it jaded of me to think that's the case, or am I just being a realist?
