you know, maybe i know what the problem is. maybe the problem is you give yourself on a golden platter with your everything. you go out of your way to shelter your loved ones when the roof over your own head is trembling. you love them in a way you have never had the courage to love yourself. the problem is, you have conditioned yourself into believing that their needs need to be met before yours - but who ever said that was the case? happiness is beautiful, especially on the faces of the ones you love & especially when you're the reason behind it but please know when to draw the line. you need to stop hurting yourself over unmatched efforts & you need to stop blaming them for not being able to love you as you love them. just because you're willing do that much for someone doesn't mean they feel the same. & if they don't, remind yourself - you need you as much as they need you. at the end of the day, you're there at their smallest call, but are they there at yours?
