I always tried to be and give my best to others, and hoped for the best from them. Sadly, I have been disappointed a lot. That disappointment I realize, at least now as I have matured somewhat, is my issue, not theirs.
I find my loyalty to myself a bit lacking. I yield a bit too much, maybe always have.
