I have an old school friend on FB who talks about the people who are on their friends list just because they want to be nosy...not because they truly care or are interested. Well, apparently I have a lot of those too. (And not just on FB, in real life too.) After offering support to so many, in so many ways...physically, emotionally, financially...one would (stupidly) hope that when the shoe was on the other foot, the support would be there. But apparently, that's just not the case. I now TRULY understand why it is said to give unselfishly. Because sadly, most of the people you give to are selfish and won't return the favor. This has unfortunately been proven to us time and time again, but lately it's just like a slap in the face. This is why we've learned to depend on just ourselves. We thought things were changing, we thought that opening ourselves up more would be a good thing. Instead it's done nothing but cause us stress, grief and financial hardships. So as far as I'm concerned, it's time for some changes to happen. Some people won't be happy with them, but too bad, because those people have proven over and over that our happiness means nothing, just theirs. It's time that we put ourselves first and not worry about their feelings for a change.
And funny that this is happening just in time for the new year. Oh yes, I think 2011 will be a MUCH better year!
