Huuummppp DAAYY‼️

Happy hump day beautiful people ‼️ we finally made it to Wednesday 😂😂😂😂 this is ridiculous because I say this every week 😫😫 nevertheless, we made it! So let me talk to y’all about some things that have been on my mind lately. As hurtful as it was, I came to the conclusion some years ago that I cannot love the ones around me more than they love me. I think the reality of it was, I realized that I was doing more for others than they were doing for me. I have done more for others than they did for me. Now granted, I know I could ask just as well as they asked me, but I have had instances where I felt that when I did ask, there was some sort of tension, which I should have addressed but I did what I always do- I say thank you and never ask again. That’s my prerogative to do so. Even if they offer, I turn down the help because I always remember how I felt when help was given. It’s ok to NOT overextend yourself. It’s ok to say no. Even if you are able to assist, guess what? You’re not the only one who can. You’re not obligated just because they reached out to you. If you’re perhaps one who has asked for help from a friend or two, don’t wait until they need you one day to repay the favor. Do what you can- buy them lunch or place a nice card in the mail for them-let them know they’re appreciated. It will be unexpected and greatly, GREATLY APPRECIATED ‼️Don’t stop loving others, please don’t, we’re given love to give, just don’t place yourself in positions where you walk away feeling empty. I am at peace when I make the decision to not place myself in a war between doing what is right and doing what is fair to myself, and you should too. Have a beautiful Wednesday 💜
