How much will I let a person hurt me before I quit?

Sep 17, 2005 09:53

I don't now how many times I touched a stove before I knew it was hot, but I have a good feeling it was about one time. However, when it comes to being with people and having relationships, I keep touching the fire, knowing it's hot, and then complaining. I know God will only give me as much as I can handle, but how much is that? Really? According ( Read more... )

I love that The Little Prince is our reference guide to life and love.

And I love that you're my best friend.

And I love that we can share our lives together as best friends.

I love you.

i feel your pain... carlyforwater September 17 2005, 16:18:15 UTC

i kinda know how you feel....i am a giver. i give and give untill i have nothing left, and then i give some more. not always the best way to have a relationship. because when you say, hey what about me? then the person doesnt know what to do because you have never asked for anything before....and then everything is messed uppp!!!! oh, pat and i broke up by the way....yea....he cheated on me....anyway. ttyl

Carly, you and I really need to catch up. We have such similar obstacles and our life and we always seem to get along, I miss hanging out with you.

If you need someone to talk to, feel free to call me.

I'll See you around.

givers get their energy from the reciever. but often the reicevers do not give us givers what we want in return, and so we keep on giving hoping one day we will be paid back in full. which we will, we just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, becuase we are on the curve of the tunnel. (this is my philosophy anyhow)

I understand what you mean. Interestingly enough I never respect much of anything in return accept the simple favor of being genuinely nice and decent. It's unfortunate that some people can't even do that.

P.S. I enjoyed your philosophy. It makes alot of sense.

Thank you Cheryl

those that say
"look what god has done for us"
never say
"look what god did to us"

I'm not sure what you're talking about Ryan Vergel. I don't believe that God is vendictive in anyway. The gift of free will leaves much room for mistakes and hurt. Our beliefs are not the same however, but God has done nothing to make me unhappy, in fact, He is what keeps me going.

samanthadb, you have this incredible gift of love and mercy and giving to offer people, and you offer this gift quite frequently. maybe you dont think you deserve better? well wake up love, because its time to realize things. im somewhat of a giver myself; i used to be more (of one). However, time and time i got nothing back. its not so much that i want something back, or even recognition... i just dont want to be treated like crap. and it seems that some people think they can take and take and take and then be jerks in return. im sorry, but the world should NOT work that way. at some point in your life, you have to realize that you can not continue to give to those who are ungrateful and just knock you down in the end. samantha, you do deserve better, alright? anyone who treats you like crap, when you give them so much, does not derserve anything at all. they are not being a good friend, or a friend at all. friends are there to fall back on. if you fall back, would they catch you? think about that ( ... )

Misty, that meant so much to me. I really don't know how to express how much that touched me and how special that made me feel.

You're right, a friend is someone you should be able to fall back on and trust in. I'm happy to say that you're one of those people. I'm really glad I talk to you about most everything and talking to a mature mind helps resolve things.

I hope you're right about love, and I'm sure you are because you know first hand what power love has. I'm sorry I stole you're b/f last night but I wish you guys the happiest life together because seeing happiness in you two is enough to make me happy and keep me hopeful.

I enjoyed hanging out with you last night and I'm sure we'll do it again soon. How about tuesday night?

Much love,
tu mamasita ;)

thanks. i try. lol , maybe. i enjoy talking to you as well. I hope im right about love as well. Its really okay, i understand when people have to talk, and need a helpful friend. happiness in us two is enough to make you happy ? that makes my heart smile. im sure we will have a happy life together.

and i have to say shaun makes it seem like young adults cannot be in love. and i completely disagree. you eventually have to let yourself fall. you can try and try as hard as you want, but you can't fight love forever.

tuesday night, i work 5-10:15.
monday night sounds alright?????

<3 let me know
