Forgotten savages....

Trying to find that balance between being there for some one and absorbing their problems and emotions as my own... not an easy thing. I'm overly empathetic sometimes and tend to take on problems I shouldn't be taking on, and soak up emotions that have no business being mine.

So I'm trying to NOT do that, even when it's tempting... it ends up being exhausting to the point where I have no energy to take care of myself. Right now it's easy because I'm being pulled in a few directions so managing to stay in the middle is doable.

But then I worry I'm sometimes pulling away TOO much, and I'm not emotionally available to people I love.

Ugh. This "maturing" and "growing" thing is a pain in the ass - but, it never ends... and I'm actually truthfully grateful for that, I never want to feel stagnant. But still! :P
