		Empathy. 
Sure, it can be a reward....until we can't control who we are empathetic towards.... such as the ones that least deserve our empathy.
It's a struggle making others happy, when they could care less about our happiness.
It's a struggle that the majority of mankind would rather take than give.

		Probably when my dog had pancreatic failure. He had Cushing's and diabetes and couldn't absorb nutrients well. I had to stick him with a needle twice a day and let him out side 3 times a night. He also went blind. He was so full of life still tho and pretty happy, it was really hard when I had to put him down.

		My stepdad and how hard he was on me. He was a force who didn't allow people to catch their breath. It was only when I left the house finally, just to be able to see if I could make it in the world or not because at that point, my motivation, my confidence and any self esteem was gone. Today I am still dealing with the remenants of one mans ignorance

		i still try to find ways to accept who i am. i think because of all that i keep my distance from people or kind of become detached. i still care a lot for others but i just also keep a lot to myself.
