Giving AND expecting nothing in return is liberating.
I thought I would never DARE to give this much again. I was so afraid that I was going to get hurt again. But the key is to expect nothing. When you give and you forget about it, you let go and whatever the receiving hand choose to do about it will not affect you anymore. When they are grateful you will be happy, sure, but when they are not, you've got nothing to lose. You move on.
