Caring about people can be hard. There will people that you will give so much of yourself to that you will have scant left to work with for yourself. This causes you to rely on the very people that you’ve given your all to only to realize they may not be capable of giving it all back. You’ll tell yourself that you don’t do things for people just to benefit in return, but there’s definitely a point where doing things without any sort of reciprocation or appreciation gets old. But as much as they tell you that you matter, you will have nothing to show for it and you’ll start to wonder why you’ve given so much of yourself away for nothing in return. You no longer just want to be told that you matter, you want to be shown it. Unfortunately, most people are all talk.
