YOU Are Responsible For You

I've said it before, but I'll say it again and again....We are only responsible for ourselves! Our thoughts, feelings, perspectives, actions, reactions, bootstrap needs, happiness, etc. A relationship is a give and take, and while within a relationship there is some giving of any of the things we are personally responsible for....IT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL to depend on another person to DO YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES for you on an emotional or physical or financial anything. IF in a relationship both persons are giving and taking in a balanced healthy noncodependent way AND both are also doing for themselves as individuals, THEN that's perfect and helpful and functional and wonderful. But, when the scale tips and another becomes lazy and starts taking this gift for granted....well, my friend, that's when you need to readdress healthy boundaries and responsibilities of self and relationship before the whole thing goes past the point of salvage.
