So maybe when you care, you feel that you care too much. And when you love, you drown them in your love. Maybe when you give, you give feeling like they won’t understand why you’re giving so much. Something reminds you that if you don’t make them work for what you give them, that you, as a person, are somehow not worthy enough of being reciprocated what you already gave. Take a step back and remind yourself of this: what you give is an indication of what you own. So if you give too much care, that care comes from somewhere within you. If you love too sincerely, that love comes from somewhere within you. What you give comes from somewhere within you. That is what defines your worth; what you give and your willingness to give it knowing that you might not get anything in return, not what they take or how they take it.
