I'm almost too livid to even compose clear words!
When we begin to feel things on account of how others portray them to us, as opposed to how we actually experience them... our spine melts away from even within our own bodies.
When we begin to react to things, on behalf of others... we are overstepping our boundaries, as they really ought to learn how to react for themselves.
When we begin to respond, on behalf of others; merely to appease, despite actually admitting what's really going on in our own heads... we become numb acting as others want us to... not how we would naturally!
*still shaking head*
I'm telling you, I'm not going to do this anymore... I can't take the drain!
