Today’s post is a self-reflective piece about sharing. While it is true that I have no problem introducing myself to anyone, anywhere in the most cordial outgoing way, I think I have severe issues in holding certain things back. Such as in this blog, for some reason I have that “need to share information” thing going on. I think it can also be called “word vomit.” For some reason I can’t hold something back. If it crops up in my brain that I think I should get it out, then I HAVE to. Otherwise it’ll literally eat away at me to the point where I’m physically sick from the stress of it. I’m probably the most straightforward girl in the entire world because if something is wrong, I’ll tell you.
Along the same line as being so incredibly outwardly friendly, I function at a loss as I rarely keep anything to myself. I function as an all or nothing friend, either I’ll care about you and pretty much do anything to make sure you’re happy, but largely put you before myself.
How is that fair to me? Who takes care of me if I’m too busy taking care of everybody else? I’ve spent far too long investing in friends, putting my dreams and well wishes into hoping the best for other people, whilst forgetting about myself. Of course I’ll still care about you, but I need to focus on caring about me, too.
