First was that time where I ended up pouring all my time, attention and effort to please a bunch of people who weren't able to reciprocate what I have given them, since their love tanks were limited-just like mine and in the end, I closed myself off, until God came in. The second instance where I emptied myself, only to end up nearly burning out was during last year's Christmas party where I was burdened with all sorts of tasks and ended up a sobbing mess as soon as I arrived at home. It also didn't help that Lolo died a month later, and I had to deal with all sorts of regrets.
