...sometimes you don't realize you're actually drowning when you're trying to be everyone else anchor...

---

I promise i am fine. But sometimes this feeling always bites at me. I help others, friends or family, and while I do that I slowly sink into the depths overwhelmed by my own thoughts and feelings that i didn't recognize before. I'm sure many of you understand this feeling.

Anyways, i sketched this idea a few years back when I didn't have very nice friends. They only wanted me around when they needed something and were never there for me. I felt terrible and I never spoke to anyone about it because I didn't want to be alone. I know I don't have to be scared to mention things anymore. People should realize that friendship works 2 ways and if both of them aren't received by both parties.. well.. I wouldn't really call it a friendship then. Too many times I've been walked over. Taken advantage off. Ignored, even. But not anymore. I'm surrounded by great friends, my family are more sympathetic and I have a wonderful boyfriend.
