My life is always in a whirlwind. I can never really think straight as a result of that, and sometimes can't even make sense of myself anymore. The last couple of weeks has been spent trying to get my mind back into order, but things just don't seem to be getting much better.
Time and time again I set myself up for disappointment, and by now you would think that I would be used to it. But this is not the case. I just can't help it even if I can see that things will not come to a positive ending. Is it because I am too kind? Is it because I just keep finding people who don't appreciate my assistance? Or is it because I am just too lost within my own mind that I can't see where I am going wrong?
It is in my nature to get fairly close to people. I enjoy listening to others and helping them out when needed. I do this without expecting anything in return except for some level of appreciation that lets me know that my words haven't fallen upon deaf ears and my actions haven't gone unnoticed. A little bit of appreciation goes a long way. Some times though, regardless of how much you try, you may reach a point where you need to just move on and accept that your efforts will just be wasted.
So as this post comes to an end, the best way to sum up what is on my mind right now is the following saying that my year 11/12 physics teacher had once told me.
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink".
I've also mentioned this saying in the past, but it is quite a true saying. Despite how much you try and provide positive suggestions, you can't always make them listen regardless of how important it may be.
