Sorry but if someone is a jerk to me or ignores me when I'm being real, don't expect my kindness.

I wish I could be caring despite being not cared about, I did for a long time, trying to be virtuous. It depleted me.

No I will not let people have from me what they wouldn't give. It no longer makes me feel guilty either. Nor am I as forgiving or forgetting.

They’re not worth your energy. That visual of being depleted… that hit home for me. So I get it.

You don’t even need the first sorry in your title in situations like this.

@BillyMack it's really beautiful that some of us want to give so much, but we don't live in a world where that's okay. People will ask for a lot after they already refused you a drop. Just can't play like that anymore.
