Turn it off.
L. B. Mek said:

luckily, if you have access to the switch
you can toggle it on and off;
sometimes we Must, prioritise ourselves
Insure our own survival, before
we look to others
then, when we have the capacity to help someone
without, being in danger of getting lost in their struggle
then we can offer a hand and switch our humanity on, if you will...
I thought this was an intriguing write, some thought provoking concepts introduced

Hiraeth
L. B. Mek said:

when we can open ourselves to new influences, because
we\'ve established a concrete anchor of self belief,
the scope of new and pleasant things we can experience in the world is endless
like a word, hidden in a tradition and culture that\'s so rich
but due to our limitations in connection,
or simply, our ignorance
we never knew it existed..
but then, we read or listen
and we learn and appreciate,
growing a little bit more
and utilising our capacity to exchange, swap and enrich
each other, with whatever we have to give
and are open, to receive..
(this is a wonderful showcase of a beautifully meaningful word,
thank you, for introducing me to it)

Why?
L. B. Mek said:

usually, when we overextend our dependency on our partners
and feel like, we\'re stepping into the corridors of infatuation,
there might be some issues we need to resolve internally, regarding our feelings of inadequacy;
if we, personally don\'t feel like we deserve the love we\'re receiving, then
a part of us, finds a way to interpret that love in a way we can cope, sometimes this may become unhealthy,
its important we recognise there might be something wrong and find a way to investigate what\'s at the core of our overwhelming feelings. but hopefully
I\'m just talking nonsense, and its just the the distilled quality of the love in our lives, that\'s making us feel
this giddy, lol
