Each of us has support people who we lean on when we need strength.
Most of us are support people who have others who lean on us when they need strength.
Relationships that work well have equal measures of support and being supported.
The only problem is when being supported and supporting does not balance. Sometimes this is a larger issue as those who constantly need support without returning it are usually those that believe that they are entitled. People like this drain energy and leave a feeling of trepidation.
I no longer have friends that are like this. I don't have the time, I don't have the energy and I don't have the patience.
I understand that there are times when we all needs a little support, now and again. Sometimes is not a problem, always is.
I thank those who have supported me.
