I wish someone would take care of me for once.

I’m always the person to look out for everyone. One of my friends or boyfriend is sick? I help take care of them and remind them to take medicine and hydrate. I give them a list of what they should and shouldn’t be eating and tell them to stay in bed. I’m also the one to actually care when someone is upset. I don’t just say “I’m sorry” and leave it be. I let them know I’m listening and that I care.

But now I’m the one who’s sick and lonely and no one cares. No one is here for me. I want someone to care for me for once. I want what I give to others. Is that too much to ask for?
