This is one of those posts that may not get read, or if it is started, won't get finished, but it is OK. Sometimes we just need to write.
Sometimes there are people in our lives who expect great things, but will not give great things. They are takers.
Takers, by definition, think of their needs first and what they want comes before others. I'm trying not to be a taker; givers are better to be around.
Givers are helpful. Givers love without counting the cost. Givers, give.
What if what you try to do to build a bridge with someone isn't appreciated?
Sometimes it is time to stop. The closeness you hoped for isn't going to happen that way, so just stop.
Sometimes what we want, we can't have, because relationships run both ways.
When others view a relationship with us as one where we're expected to do more, eventually the reality of just how loved we are sinks in. It is hard to face, but face it we must.
Our family and friends do not always love us as much as we thought.
They might love us when it is convenient for them.
They might take an interest only if it is in the way they think is acceptable...
It is hard when you encounter people who think they should be more important than everyone else, irrespective of the effort they put in to the relationship. People can mistakenly think position is enough to warrant true closeness, but the sad reality is this-
Position alone can corrupt. Position is built on pride. Position takes and sometimes forgets to give. Position fails to understand while demanding. Because of these things, warmth and genuine closeness fade.
May 2016 be full of relationships that are balanced and wrought with giving~
