Have you ever had someone that called on you for everything, but you would never consider calling them while you’re in a crisis? One way friendships/relationships will never work and trust me… that’s not love. When you’re sitting there broken and confused.. who can you call?

People never take the saying “Check on your strong friend” serious. When we have a problem it’s the end of the world to people because somehow it just doesn’t seem possible that we have problems. More than likely we have more problems than the people that lean on us because we’ve absorbed all of their problems.

I am an empath. Being an empath means: a person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual. When someone calls me to vent and tell me their issues, I can feel their pain. It’s like I go through their emotions with them. It’s a gift and a curse, because by the time I talk to my therapist she is upset lol. She is always like, “Ebonee, you are not qualified for this, send them to go see a therapist.” It’s true though, we take on other peoples baggage for free and we’re hella unqualified when professionals go to school to do this for years.

All I’m saying is, stop talking through a one way phone. If the only time your phone rings is when someone wants to vent and they never check on you, take a break from them. If whenever you call them, they’re always busy… take a break from them.

Love yourself first. Put yourself first. ❤
