Oh Yea I'll Say That Something...
So I decided to be truly active and purposeful. In one of my most recent blogs I discussed the idea that I was not being as helpful to others as I need to be. Despite my greatest efforts of the past I decided that I would take the time to help. Sorta going with the teach a man to fish approach. Well man, fish, or horse you can take a thirsty fool to water but you sure as hell can't keep that fool from dehydrating.
I do as much as I can to ensure my spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical hydration. It kills me when others don't do the same for themselves but want to suck you dry. Then they have the audacity to look shocked and surprised...upset even. How dare you NOT take the time to foster their foolishness. You vile wicked person you.
As I have often done I put what I want...NO need to do to the side and instead aide someone else. This time I did it in the hopes of being a teacher. Let me show you and not just tell you. Sadly it didn't work. I don't wanna hold anyone's hand...I really don't. It's the very reason I haven't had children.
I'm a woman but that doesn't mean that I intend to nurture the world and lift everyone up. I just can't do it and now I am burned out. I am burned out on helping and caring.
Fend for yourselves people...fend for yourselves...

your (personal/selfish) intentions are not paramout - truth is as a woman - u do nurture the world sister
Torrance...Ok I respect that to a point. In theory that is who I could be to the world. Since I feel no need to have the world suckling at my teat my own needs are paramount...I'll help when I can and where I can, no question but it is not all about everyone else either...
Thanks for stopping by
Sometimes we can feel burned out when we dont feel appreciated, but when we do thing because we really want to..you never get tired from it.
My signature on one of my emails is..
"If you walk away feeling you've learned absolutely nothing, know that you've taught someone something"-me
People are watching and learning from you..so never stop doing/being who you are.
Tia...well said. I have a huge heart and helping people makes me0 feel good...but when you help, and help and help and people don't change and keep doing the same things over and over and NOT helping themselves it has gone beyond help...it means you are carrying them and THAT is a bad look.
I do love that quote though. Very nicely put...
Thanks for stopping by...
