WHEN GIVING GOES WRONG


As we all know in life there are givers and takers, Although there seems like there are more people looking to take then give. There's really no need to go in on the takers because we already know how we feel about them but what about those of us that love to give?

Sometimes knowing that you can do something for others is a good feeling, we love to help others in need and we do it with out expecting any merits because in most cases these people are our friends, family and significant other. We want so much to make the people in our lives happy, we become blinded by the tittles that they hold in our lives and end up giving more than what we bargained for. The truth is that when you are giving what ever you are giving; be it, money, food, support,time, etc... we give a little off ourselves in hopes that the people in our lives return it. Our love to give makes us sacrifice ourselves and our lives for others. Not knowing when to stop giving could make you lose yourself in the worst way. When you give and nothing is being returned, you allow people to walk with a piece of you every time, right down to your heart and eventually you lose your head. We give so much until it is expected of us, to the point to where you are giving to maintain a relationship with those closes to us, we do it because thats all we know how to do. I feel what we need to realize is that giving is good and that it can only become a bad thing for ourselves. Giving should be something that is done from your heart and not something you do because you feel obligated. Most importantly... learn the word NO and discard anyone who can't except it because that my friend...is a Taker.
