Figure out who you are and BE that

As I start this next phase of my journey, my 42nd lap, I'm becoming increasingly familiar with those that deserve me and my energy. I've spent too much time wondering why I've poured so much love into people that wouldn't do the same for me. Why the people closest to me seem to drain me the most. I'm figuring out now, that most people are attracted to me because of my spirit. I'm naturally giving, naturally loving and naturally funny. The thing is that most people can't get that out of me lately. Now that I'm making a conscious effort to examine the spirits around me before engaging with them, I can see envy and manipulation in people. I can tell when someone is telling me what they think I want to hear or doing what they think I want them to do. I have no desire to be catered to. I don't need to be built up or flattered.

I've learned to respect flaws in people because it is a sign that they are showing their true selves. I used to go out of my way to appear flawless until I figured out that I couldn't keep it up. Nobody can. It's best to be who you are and let the energy that is meant for you, flow to you on it's on.
