I Am a Good Friend

Someone rather lovely advised me this morning to start worrying about me and not everyone else. I am a good friend, I'm kind, compassionate and I will be there for you if you need me. But, from here on in, people will get what they give. It's not at all good for me to give my all for people that don't appreciate me.

I think you should do what makes you happy, even if that includes giving your all to someone, just let go of the pretenses and stop expecting the same in return. Sometimes the people we choose are not capable of doing what we do and if you can accept that you will be okay. I fell in love with someone and had their back, I was one hundred for them but when it came down to it he wouldn't do the same for me, but not because he didn't want to, he was incapable of doing the same. I realize that and it did change things between us because I decided I had no use for someone like that in my life. Now I have to choose the people with whom I share myself with in a more discerning manner. Hope that makes sense for you. You be you!

@mljenkins It makes perfect sense. I need to wait before I give someone my all, make sure it's appreciated (and wanted in some cases.)

I agree, you have to take care of yourself 1st. I am the same way. I help everyone then can't find anyone when I need help

You are good to me. I'm good to you. And that is all that matters here about that. ☺
