Take, take, take....
Some people learn where to draw the line immediately. For some, it takes days, weeks...and for some of us it can take YEARS. I find it amazing how we can know another human being so well...their thoughts and what they want or need just by their mannerisms...and at the same time, how incredibly sad it can be that they in turn know NOTHING about you and only present themselves in your life when they need something and can completely cut you off when you become inconvenient by needing something in return. Have you ever found yourself in this kind of a situation? I've decided, it's not really my place to be everyone's soft place to fall. The burden is too heavy and the consequences too detrimental to my psyche, my heart, and my well-being. Mantra of the day...if you're not into give and take then, I'll be seein' ya.

I know some givers and some takers. Takers just suck the life out of me.
I like your last sentence. "If you're not into give or take, I'll be seein' ya."
My only question is how do you stop the takers in your life?
Wishing you a Happy New Year.
Hi Pam! Recognize the takers...then stop saying yes all of the time. You're right, they suck the life out of you. I feel like sometimes we get so caught up in trying to help or be a good friend we fail to recognize that we're not on the receiving end. It's very sad actually.
I love your thought process, Noelle. Your insight and emotional honesty are so admirable.
This is so true for me right now. Amazing how this works and how easily people can just give up on a friendship. I'm so glad I came by today to visit and this was written. This made me feel less alone. I hope you are doing well. I am sorry I have not been around lately. It's been a real insane few months for me. I hope you have an inspiring and creative 2012!!
Happy New Year!!! Great to hear from you all!! Bring on 2012!!
exactly noelle, ya can't be everyone's soft place to fall.
