... You're too mentally exhausted to keep your emotional defenses up. That's when you realize how bitter and miserable you are because of all the lovey-dovey bs in the air.
Hugs.
Cuddles.
Kisses.
Someone playing with my hair.
Someone to give me lotsa scritches.
I don't ask for a lot. That's all I really want...

Altruism

It is defined as, "The belief in, or practice of, disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others."
It's putting yourself on the line for someone else. It's putting someone else before yourself.
Recently, it's been reinforced that I am an altruistic person. Do I like it? Not necessarily. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy helping others and making sure people son't suffer like I have. But it comes with a price: The knowledge that I am essentially a stepping stone to other people's happiness... while I'm no better off. It's embittering sometimes, knowing that. Yet, I still choose to help people and put others before myself.
You'd think I'd have some good karma. But I don't... At least, not the karma I've been hoping for.
