biggest lesson: I learned this year is to stop giving so much of myself to people who won't do the same for me. I used to believe that if I gave everything I had, people would see my worth and stay. But I learned that not everyone will value you the way you value them. Some will take all you give and still make you feel like it's not enough. It's exhausting when you keep showing up for people who would never do the same for you. Now I'm learning to save my energy for those who truly care, and to remind myself that I deserve the same love and effort I give to others.
