It's funny that these two words are so similar. One is fun, the other is dysfunctional. One is healthy, the other unhealthy. Your life may be filled with relationships, or you may just be relating to people. Its about how you interact with your partner, your family, your friends. Relationships are about giving and getting. You need to feel fulfilled, but also be mindful of what they are getting in return. I've learned the hard way that if you're doing all the giving all the time, you never feel full. Often, you give until you reach the point that you are literally empty. You're broke, you're stressed, you're tired, you're completely drained dry. How is that equal? How does that make you partners? How does family do that to one another?
I know people who are the total opposite of me. They have no problem taking until they're happy. They only come around when they need you or something from you. Those people may be temporarily satisfied, but once they realize you have nothing for them they're looking for their next score. They tend to seek out people like me, suck on me like leeches, then disappear once I hit bottom.
I'm honestly starting to doubt that there are people out there that don't fit into one of those categories.
