Sometimes
Sometimes I get tired of people who take too much energy. I keep giving and giving...unconditionally and receiving nothing in return. Why? Because I don't want anything back. I want to give. I love to give.
Okay, I take that back. I do want something in return. I want the satisfaction of knowing I'm doing something good. I want to know that my sacrifice of time and energy is helping that other person. I don't care about getting anything other than that...and in that case I'll keep giving.
That is, until I see that my sacrifice does nothing...that it is wasted. If you waste my time, I will stop. Why? I would rather give my time and energy to other people in my life that need it, use it, appreciate it. I only have so much for so many people and for one person to take that away from the rest...well, that shouldn't happen.
I care. I try. I give. I'm sorry, but sometimes I just have to know when it should end.
