To have a friendship, you need 50% from each person, you have to meet them half way with it, otherwise it is just a one-sided effort. Story of my life. Sometimes I wish I could just tell people no. I hate to see people sad, upset, etc. So I do what I can to try to cheer them up or just make their day a little better, but why is it that when the tables are turned, there are only a few people who would return the gesture? After everything, how could you not give a care at all? I'm bemused. Honestly, I feel like all that I do is just a waste of time. Yeah, I do get the satisfaction that I've done something good for someone, but you can only give so much, and to recieve the same thing once in a while, is that too much to ask for? But I guess this just shows someone's true colors, and maybe I've been wasting my time and effort for too long now.
take my hands out of control.

I'm sorry you feel this way. But you are very right. I don't know if you've talked to Forton about the idea of love and how not all of it is giving but also receiving. Agape, and something else, I forget.
The point is, as someone who practices love in their life, you experience how hard it gets when it becomes an effort and when it is unrequited. You're already fighting the battle of a mature Christian. Keep it up, Jane ! =]
