I learned a long time ago that one's relationships with people are not reciprocal. I decided back then that I would make the choice to keep giving everything I had into all my relationships with people--not caring what I got back.
Over the years--this decision has done little more than KICK ME IN MY MOTHER FUCKING FACE. :ahem:
Seriously though, I'm really really tired of my relationships with people (friends, family, etc.) being so lopsided. I'm so tired of being a really good friend, or daughter, or girlfriend, or teacher, or sister when what I get back is so pathetic--if I get anything back at all! And yes, I know that this sounds so dumb--and it sounds as if I'm tooting my own metaphorical horn--but if you'd like some specific examples of how I've made a fool of myself by giving my all, and really being committed as a friend, lover, family member, mentor--I'd be more than happy to give you the laundry list.
:Sigh:
And here I am, at the true illustration of this point: I am venting to a stupid digital print box rather than a human being--because I honestly don't feel like there's anyone who would care to listen.
