Check On Me Too

One of the hardest lessons we will come to learn in life is realizing that not everyone will have our best interests at heart. Not everyone will pick up our phone calls, support our hustle, or even care that we’re not our best. What’s worse is when we come to realize that we’re the ones constantly checking on these people, traveling the distance for them, and showing our love to them. The thing is, oftentimes when we care for individuals in our lives, we forget to care for ourselves. It’s ok to be kind and caring but it’s also ok to set boundaries with people who are draining our energy. However, it goes without saying that there will also be goodhearted individuals who are genuinely trying to help us. It’s just a matter of deciding who we want to reciprocate our time and energy with. Our overall goal should be to have healthy, well-balanced relationships in our lives. In order for us to find that, though, sometimes we have to say, “check on me too” and see who is willing to listen.
