I am hurt. But that’s now over.

There are times when you just know it’s time to stop putting yourself out there for some people.  There are times when you just have to say this is as far as I go with you.  I care about you.  But I care about me too.  I don’t think I should try as hard anymore.  Following the Golden Rule is well and good.  Treating people the way I want to treat people is what I have always done.  Because I believe that it does come back to you.  Positivity creates positivity.  Kindness begets kindness.  But the flip side of it is, one does get to a point where one decides, that’s all I’m going to give out because I need to keep something back for myself.
