Overextending yourself for people and making their emergencies your own emergency doesn't get you more loved, it's gets you more used. Trust me they'd be fine without you. being kind is powerful. Being kind without boundaries is exhausting.
Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. And then, without you even realizing it, these pieces come back. New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you is staring back in the mirror.
