Yall ever feel like you almost put too much effort into things? Sometimes I feel like I care too much about things, or people, that don’t put in that much effort back. Like, I love my friends, and I know they love me, and I spend like two hours last night and like two hours tonight custom making 6 valentines with felt and patterned paper and washy tape because we’re having our like “valentines” tomorrow, and I’m doing it because I love my friends, and ik it’s selfish to want something in return, but sometimes I just wish someone put in as much effort for me as I try to do for others, I spent hours custom making new covers for journals/ book boxes for my friends and with all my creative friends I don’t think any of them made anything
I know it’s extremely selfish but I just can’t get rid of the feeling that I’m doing too much for people that won’t do the same for me.
