I give a whole bunch of my time to others. I used to think that was a good thing. I’m discovering it really hinders the work I need to do on me and my relationships. Maybe this will be the last year I sign away every weekend during the fall. It’s such a great activity to be involved in, it just always interferes with so many other things in my life.
Donating your time is a great thing, but there does need to be a limit. You can’t give everything away, because, as you say, if you have no time for yourself, you ultimately end up with nothing left to give.
People suck. That’s why I fortify my castle with things that please me, then hide away from the masses. Joooiiiin ussssss……
