It is both a common thread and a friendship.  The friend that I am closest to, and other friends as well, I give myself whole heartedly, becuase that is the sort of person that I am, but I don’t get the same back.  I know that I can’t expect it becuase it is my choice to give the way I do, but it hurts when I make people a priority in my life but I am never one in theirs.  From simple things like if I don’t text, I won’t receive one.  I just don’t know to stop investing so much of myself into people and not be hurt or disappointed when they don’t reciprocate.
