Lean On Me

I'm spent.

For the past couple of weeks, everyone close to me has been using me as their confidante, their shoulder to lean on when they need someone to talk to. I love my people, but it can be emotionally draining. I tend to be the type of person who takes on the emotions of others, so when the people I love are hurt, so am I.

At the same time, I don't mind being there for people I care about, because I would want them to be there for me. Everyone needs someone to talk to sometimes.

I love my friends and family to death. I really could not imagine my life without them. They are always there for me. They tell me when I'm being stupid and still tolerate me when I'm being a total ass. I appreciate that about them, because I don't have time for "yes" people.
