@ericswanso.n: This resonates with me because I've lived enough to know that being a genuinely good person doesn't always mean you'll be loved or appreciated. Sometimes, it simply means people expect more from you until they take your kindness for granted. I still choose kindness but I've also learned that self-respect, healthy boundaries, and knowing your worth are just as important. Being good doesn't mean allowing yourself to be used. It means staying true to who you are while protecting your peace. Real people will value your heart. The wrong ones will only value what they can get from it. Stay kind. Stay strong. Stay wise. #ErikSwanson #MrAwesome #LifeLessons #KnowYourWorth #SelfRespect
