I am loyal, I give my heart, time, and energy completely to the people I care about, but I am not infinite. Everyone has a breaking point, and mine comes when respect, honesty, or appreciation are taken for granted. I will stand by you, support you, and fight for what matters, but if you continually test my patience or disregard my worth, know that my loyalty has its limits. I have spent countless nights worrying, caring, and investing in others, often putting their needs before my own. I have kept my mouth shut when I should have spoken, I have bent over backwards to help, and I have forgiven when it seemed impossible. But loyalty is not weakness—it is a choice, and it requires recognition and respect. If you ignore this, if you continually take without giving, eventually, I will stop giving. I will no longer waste my energy on those who treat it as nothing, who disregard my feelings, or who fail to see the value in my commitment. My heart is generous, but it is not infinite. I will walk away if my loyalty is abused, because self-respect is more important than infinite sacrifice. Deep caring is a gift, and I choose to give it only where it is appreciated, rewarded, and respected.
