How can I stop caring too much?
The more I care, give and do, the more is expected of me. I am too soft and care too much, therefore the "human bulldozers" KEEP RUNNING OVER MY ENTIRE LIFE!
How can I change who I am? This is how God made me, according to His immage, and for His purpose for my life here on earth. What right does people have to use me, and then kick me away when I don't fit into their lives anymore? I have devoted my whole life to taking care of my family and people who needed me. Now that I am getting older, I just don't fit in anywhere anymore! I have to earn my stay by still giving and doing, but I dare not say how I feel. Don't I deserve to have just a little bit of happiness and peacefulness now? When will my duties and responsibilities end?
Dare I even ask these questions?

I wish I had the right answer for you. I am in the same boat and watching it slowly sink. We just have to be not so caring!! YEAH RIGHT Huggs to you. Maybe someone out there can help us both.
I often think about this, why I keep on caring. Well, it makes me feel good and useful. And a simple \"thank you\" would be a great reward! At least I know that I do the best I can, and God knows it too. Maybe I will only get my reward in heaven, and not here on earth. And that is something to look foreward to!
