I'm Only One Person

This is something that I've really had to come to terms with in the past couple of weeks. Obviously, I never thought I was more than one person, but I have to pick and choose my battles. I have to take care of myself and do whatever it takes to keep my own head above the water. In the past I've weighed myself down by trying to keep myself, along with everyone else that I know floating. Right now I have 43 Kindergartners that need me and I have me to take care of on top of that. I don't have a lot of time to figure out other people's lives and I don't have a lot of energy to to put into situations that don't involve me. And I shouldn't have to. It kills me because it upsets the friends that I've had for years, but at some point we all have to grow up and realize that the only person that can help you is you. No one else knows what else it is that you need and no one else knows every detail that makes the puzzle click together. You have to be able to do it on your own.
