I'm tired of giving myself to people who don't see my worth.
I can no longer hold on to people that cause me more pain than happiness.
I'm no longer opening doors that God purposely shut.
I'm no longer forcing anything with anyone.
I cannot afford to show up for people when I can't even show up for myself.
How can I continue to uplift and encourage you when I don't even have the power to uplift and encourage myself?
Everyday is a struggle for me.
I've given up on myself way to much.
I've quit way to much.
I've been a shoulder to lean on way to often.
I hope you understand that I have to be stingy with me.
I have to be stingy with who I give my energy to, my love to and my body to.
Not everyone is for me.
I have to understand that.
Friends stray, and feelings do to.
