People no longer appreciate the good works we do for them. Sometimes giving too much can make us feel taken advantage of. They already respect us because they expect us to help them immediately, especially in times of their needs. But why don’t they give a shit about our needs too?

However, it is not about how much we give, but how much love we put into the act of giving. We may not have the same status in life, but we can all take time to help others. Helping here does not mean monetary values, but our willingness to help. If we cannot, we can simply give our emphatic understanding and sympathy.

Give and help without expecting any return. If we give only to get something back, then it is better not to give more. But sometimes we feel guilty about giving because some people use emotional blackmail just to get what they want. I just don’t know why there are people who have a habit of imposing too much to the point of abusing my goodness. They want me to suffer the consequences of their foolish actions too.

I don’t want to hurt, especially if it already involves my family. But in doing so, I am the one who feels hurt because I am always the one who will resign and sacrifice everything for the good of my family. Why can’t they appreciate my value to them? Why do they want me to do all the work for them? Even simply going to the barangay hall to evaluate our land, they cannot do it. My uncle often says that it won’t take too long if I’m the one who goes there and processes what needs to be done. But why can’t they do it themselves?

I’m really upset with my uncles. They depend so much on me that I feel abused. If I say NO, they usually accuse me of disobedience where in fact I am the only one they can trust, but I only have one body. I can’t do all the things they want me to do. I also need to earn money to meet the needs of my children, which is my top priority. Why can’t they understand that I already have my own family?

I am always ready to help you. But why does it hurt when I can’t prioritize them? I love you all but you are hurting me emotionally because you are not satisfied with what I can only offer. They want to have all of me. But I also have children to consider.

I know the importance of helping them, but they must also respect my decisions.
