PROTECT YOUR HEART

In my life, I've given abundantly from the depths of my heart, offering myself tirelessly to others in ways that stretched beyond ordinary bounds. Yet, often, my altruism was misconstrued as foolishness. I neglected my own needs, dismissing my well-being for the sake of others'. What felt natural to me was deemed as naivety by those around me.

I made numerous sacrifices in pursuit of others' happiness, only to realize that amidst it all, there was a glaring absence of reciprocity. Who, amidst my countless sacrifices, would extend care and respect towards me? I harbored no expectations of grand gestures, merely the basic dignity of acknowledgment.

Instead, I found myself betrayed by those I showered with affection. Each act of love met with indifference or, worse yet, inflicted with pain. It took a final, painful encounter to shatter the illusion that my sacrifices would earn me the respect I sought.

In the wake of disillusionment, I chose to redirect my love and care inward, nurturing my own heart and safeguarding it against further harm. Learn from my experience: protect your heart, for it is your most precious possession.

With newfound clarity and self-love, I move forward, embracing Bongi Gladness.
