Give to get

We've all heard the saying you need to give to get. This saying is true in many cases, and you get back what you give out.

Kind of like karma. You give out love and kindness, and you will receive it.
There are cases though, that we come about in life, where you give, and get nothing in return. Not that you always need to receive, but what happens when you give, give, give, and give, and get NOTHING back? You're left hollow.

It's important to know who you are, and what you stand for. You always need to keep time for yourself, and you can not always give everything away to everyone and everything. Because when you give so much of yourself, and you're getting nothing in return, you're left empty. You're left with nothing within yourself.
So no matter what you're going through, or how much you want something or someone, don't give all of yourself. Emotionally or physically. Because when that thing or person decides to stop responding and giving back to you, when you keep giving, what is there left of you? Little, to nothing. Always keep your head up and know what you have within yourself, and never give it all away.

What you have, makes you, you.
And every person needs that.
You can give yourself to others and causes,
but remember who you are after it all.
