Have you ever?

Shown someone too much kindness and forgave too much of their selfish behavior in your friendship? Then one day you realize you are hurting yourself masochisticly, because you don't value your own heart and feelings? You have to value what you give and have lines on what you'll except in any relationship.

This is such a hard one for me. I take after my mom. I need to stop hurting myself through my tolerate of other people I care for hurting me. This is part of my story.. my personal journey.. all my true friends know who they are, and I will always be grateful for what you habe given me.❤️

Long ago I learned that loyalty is a personal choice, and unless fealty is pledged (IE. a monogamous relationship established) it should not be expected. I don't do nice things for people expecting nice things in return. Rather, I do nice things for people to feel better about myself, and usually only if those people have shown an adequate amount of respect to myself and others. I don't believe in friendship anymore, because no matter how close 2 people grow together, it only takes a moment for a falling out to occur. Rather, I just try to be as correct as I can be, find comfort in working on myself, and try not to bother or be bothered by the people who exist around me.
