Its no secret...when I have money my "friends" have money. I've never been a selfish or stingy person. I've always believed that if I bless someone that God will bless me in return! But, what I've come to realize is that my "friends" aren't willing to do the same for me. I've paid car notes, car insurance, rent, light bills, cell phone bills...purchased plane tickets, gas, food, shoes, clothes etc. for my "friends". But now that I'm unemployed and have no money only one person has stepped up and actually helped a sista out, and I've never gave this person one red cent. My "friends" are quick to tell me how they are "sorry that I lost my job" or tell me what I need to do to get another job...or better yet say "hang in there things will get better", but no one has said "hey I'm going to shoot you $10 so you can put some gas in your car, or can I help you with one of your bills since you helped me with mine when I was in need".
No I don't give people money expecting them to pay me back (I've learned that lesson), but I kinda expected that if I was ever in need that a "friend" would have my back like I have theirs. Guess I was wrong huh? Well, since I am wrong, I'm done being Bank of America, Wachovia, Western Union, or the local ATM machine. I figure if I saved all the money that I spent on other people's bills and helping other people out this year then maybe I wouldn't be sitting here right now wondering how I'm going to pay my own bills.
Take it how you want to...call me bitter....call me selfish...IDGAF!
I needed to remind myself of this because I found myself being BOA, Wachovia, Western Union etc. to a family member in need recently and got treated the same way again...*smh* my fault!
