appreciation

A feeling of being grateful for something: an ability to understand the worth, quality, or importance of something : an ability to appreciate something: full awareness or understanding of something.

Once again I am not being appreciated. I'm not being valued. I have fallen into the trap that I said I wouldn't do anymore. All my life I've had to fight for myself. I'm tired. When is someone going to fight for me or have my back. It seems I'm always surround myself with takers. The God in me has always made sacrifices for others but no one seems to want to sacrifice for me.

Maybe it's time for me to be selfish. I've thought of it several times.That's one thing I really can't do. I've tried but it's just not my character. 

My advise to you and to myself. Stop letting people take your kindness weakness and find yourself a helper or helpers.. Recognize the takers and understand you need to put yourself first.
