Don't Give Your Best Away

It is both physically and emotionally draining to be the hero.

There is no such thing as 50/50 in a relationship.
You both have to be 100% all in for it to work.
You both have to put in the same effort and hard work to make it last.

Often times, you can find yourself in a situation where you are giving 100% and they are giving little or none; it can be exhausting.

I have found I like to be a rescuer, to try and fix things that are broken.
I know this is extremely unhealthy.

It is both physically and emotionally draining to be the hero.
You give so much of yourself away in hopes that the other party will catch on.
You can end up giving up the best part of you in the process.
What happens when you have nothing left to give?

That is kind of where I'm at right now.
I gave so much of my time and effort to something that didn't work out in the end.
Now, just the thought of starting over makes me want to take a nap.

The thing is: every relationship is work.
Sometimes, I'd rather sit at home alone than talk to anyone because I am just tired.
I'm tired of trying and getting nowhere.
I'm sick of giving everything and ending up with nothing.
It's just too much.

I believe you should always give it your all in any relationship you enter into.
It's not fair to the other person that you were once wronged, but be careful not to give too much of yourself away.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
