For many years.... I attracted those with issues... because I was a good listener and encouraging and understanding...... what I found out is that some of those people could drain me emotionally. I learned to let people go that are not actively working on ways to get better. At the same time - if I was concerned with their issues I was not thinking about my own issues... this is good and bad. As I encourage others - I'm definitely talking to myself as well. For me it is rewarding to be helpful - until they have played the victim way to long. The bad.... right now I am avoiding taking care of some of my business - because writing here right now is easier. ... now back to my crap I'll be back.

It's cool to figure out things about yourself - as it makes sense you can work on it to have a better life!!
