Date: 2015-05-02 08:29 pm (UTC)Then there's the emotional side. Yes, I've had conversations where I felt happy during them, but as soon as they ended, I felt...drained. Looking back, I realized that in those moments, all I was doing was giving of myself without asking for anything in return. Sometimes, frankly, I would do this to make myself feel better in light of a shitty situation I was in elsewhere in life--poor judgment, yes, but some of us do this all the time.
Love the pic, BTW!
