i think it can be hard to find a balance between give and take.

if you give give give all the time...
if you put others before yourself all the time...

then burnout is inevitable.

if you take take take all the time...
then other people will reach their limit...
and they might come to avoid you, however.

balance can be tricky.

sometimes...

other people don't support us in the way we might need / like.

sometimes it is because of their stuff (and they are unable to at that time)

sometimes...

it is because they really don't see that that is what we are needing.

give and take...

it is hard to find that balance...
it is something i have to be mindful of in my interactions too...
