I’m just so tired. Every day this happens. Yes, I’m a naturally happy person, but I’m just so TIRED of being the source of everyone’s energy. My sick mom, my stressed boyfriend, my stoic friends – everyone always counts on ME to lighten them up. Then, after they’re all happy and ready to go, it’s like we switch places – since they’ve confessed everything to me toI worry about them and get sad. I just wish somebody would let ME feed off THEIR energy for once, just ONCE. And it s**** because I don’t have these problems and I shouldn’t feel so horrible inside, I should be happy I helped them, but that’s never how it works. It’s like – they take the burden off their shoulders and put it on mine instead. I’m sick of it.
