being too good isn't good.  you should always be

being too good isn't good. 

you should always be a good person, but that doesn't mean that you 
end up hurting yourself because you care about others more. 

I've always been gullible. I would always find it almost impossible to say no. i would
 listen to others' sorrow and share their pain, and also, cheer them up while 
i had a bad day. i would go to lengths to bring a smile to someone's face and
 plan two months in advance for their birthdays. 

i would always compliment others even when they'd make fun of my hair or my clothes. 

i would be others' loudest cheerleader when deep down, i
 would know that nobody would do the same for me. 

i have always been the one who would put others first, i have always been 
an altruistic person. but to be honest, it has done me more bad than good. 

when you are too good, people take advantage of that, sometimes unintentionally 
but mostly because they know that you will never say no to them. 

people like us love others so much that we forget to love ourselve
s sometimes and nothing is more heartbreaking than that. 

we shouldn't have to burn ourselves to make others feel warm. it is wrong and toxic. 

we shouldn't be the ones who always give and receive nothing in return. 

saying no doesn't make you a bad person. putting yourself first doesn't make you
 selfish. making yourself your biggest support system because you don't have anyone
 else doesn't make you a loser. 

and, after a few heartbreaks, failed relationships and forced friendships, I've learnt the
 most important lesson that being too good isn't good. 

instead, be too good to your heart that nobody else can take advantage of it.
