that in current times women are greatly challenged by the pace of lifestyle and different needs that have to be fulfilled. The love a mother feels for her children is something quite special and can move mountains if necessery. Yet in order to give I do believe people have to be open to receive from others and also fill themselves up. What struck my some days ago and I might be totally the opposite with this... When sh** hits the fan in a sense and it all boils down I rather be a healthy egoist than a broke filantrope. It truly is a matter of having something to give in the end. But that also is a mindset. Some people can get a lot from giving itself, Yet nurturing own resources before being able to share asks for a healthy dose of choosing the self first. I appreciate your understanding & positivity. You've also highlighted some concepts I need to consider more. Thanks for a good reminder to make sure the "love bank" is full before spending (so to speak). You seem like a good person - & realistic too, which is also good. Sometimes I wonder how us random strangers communicating online would get along in real life. Who knows? Still, I think there's something kindof pure about writing - yeah, you miss nonverbal communication (facial expression, voice tone etc.), but in a way writing is soul to soul - no appearances to distract.
