"Experience says that the happiest person is the one who has made the greatest number of people happy." - Mary Jane Ryan
A woman who always supports others feels a lot. It has endless depths, an ocean for its heart, and attracts people who are too afraid to swim. She constantly gives herself to them, day after day. She slowly tears her delicate soul to pieces, slowly piece by piece into fragments, just to light the flame of hope in someone.
It hurts her. She wonders if anyone will ever give her the love she gives to others, she wonders if the time will come when someone will ask her how she is, how she feels, how she copes with life...
Sometimes a woman who is always there for others needs someone to be there for her. Sometimes the woman with the biggest smile suffers the most. Sometimes a woman who wipes the tears of others goes home and cries a lake of tears into a pillow.
Sometimes it is necessary to tell such a woman who encourages everyone around her that she is valued, that she is important; and sometimes she needs to be reminded to encourage herself as well.

If you are a woman who is always there for others, know that your heart is rare. Know that you have within you the ability to calm the storm in people, the ability to ease the pain in the eyes and mend the damaged mind and heart.
You give people hope by inspiring them, by showing them that you hear them, that you care, that you are interested in all their pain, even the most ignored bits. You make them feel wanted, they feel like they have a purpose again because they can trust you.
Remember that you are not invincible. Your heart needs rest. YOU need rest. Remember that you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, that you may not be able to save everyone, that you may not be able to heal every pain, and that there is nothing wrong with that.
Remember that all the energy you put into the world, you have to put into yourself at some point. Remember that you are worthy of the love that you constantly give to everyone else, that you are only human. Remember to live - for yourself, not just for others.
