running on empty

when you give everything away, there's nothing left in reserve.

there really isn't

i've reached meltdown.

the thing is, it's unhealthy. funny that.

but when i'm on empty and then accept some attention from a guy ... i lean so far over they have to catch me or walk away. and it's so unfair on them. so i pretty much never do.

until recently. and then i ran away.

i always run away.

so, i need to get healthy.

what is healthy?

who am i?

i dunno.

i know who i am when i'm away from home. then i go home and it all gets muddy, so muddy it hurts.

it doesn't make sense though. surely you're supposed to be most yourself at home? know who you are at home? family should know who you are?

it's the opposite for me. my friends know my substance, my family know my skeleton.
I'm the same. It's hard to balance both and really feel whole. My advice is to, as much as possible, build on the core of who you really are and who you really want to be for your friends and your family, without making a distinction between the two groups. And I'm gonna pray for you Ray *hugs*
I hear you on the losing sight of yourself when you're with your family.

Hey, I'm leaving soon. Do you want to grab coffee before I go?
Praying for you Ray.  Home is where your heart is, someone once said.  I empathise with you about being different around your family from friends because I see it in how I interact with my own family.  For some reason Matthew 12:45-50 (or Mark 3:31-34 or Luke 8:19-21) about Jesus' family came to mind.  Not really appropriate, but there you go.  Big hug.
thanks honeybees!
