I have always thought of myself as a giver.

In fact, I think I give too much. I just can't stand people getting sad and depressed...especially people who cry. It gets even harder when these are the people who are dearest to me. Kumbaga, kung ako lang si Britney Spears, ang kanta ko ay "I was born to make you happy". Hahaha~! It was never hard for me to give because I knew that I had nothing to lose. Seeing and making someone happy is one of the best things in the world even if, sometimes, it comes with a price. People always say that you should never lose yourself in giving. Always remember that there is still a YOU that needs attention. There is a YOU who is also in need of TLC. It's not always about the others, although it isn't so bad to think of them every so often.

They tell me that I should learn how to take. Be a taker, I tell you. Being a taker doesn't mean that you turn into some monstrous opportunist and begin exploiting people's kindness and love. I need to learn how to take a step back and think of myself. It's not always about them. It's also about me. I need to learn when giving is enough. I need to learn that giving also has its boundaries. It probably wouldn't hurt to switch roles every once in a while and become the taker. I have one important point to raise though.

 How can you take if there is nothing to take? How can you take if they have given you nothing?
