We Must Take Adventures In Order To Know Where We Truly Belong

 

A few times in my life, my generosity has costed me relationships - permanently. Years ago, I gave my so-called 'brother' G-Shock watch, and it wasn't cheap: $150 for the black digital. He never thanked me or wore the watch. I think my useless mother said he gave it to his son or threw it away. I also bought him a Keureg coffee maker that year. He never used that either. He can go to hell for all I care. That coffee maker cost me $300. And let's not talk about the several thousands of dollars I gave him over the years to 'help him out.' He is a complete and total asshole. I went no contact.

Another person, who shall remain nameless, was sent a Japanese model of an anime character. I never did get a thank you from that person. Another asshole friend disappears.

Fast forward a year or two. I send a gift of a watch to someone else. And again this person doesn't thank me nor send a card of appreciation. To hell with you. There was hot fiery smoke on my tires once I clued into the fact this person was and is a totally selfish asshole.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And you know what? I don't miss them at all. All awful people who had their greedy hands up for gifts or attention. And that's about it. It would have been nice to receive a thank you card - but no, even that was too nuch. That person can get fucked. That white Baby-G rose gold watch is going to cost you. And it did.

When people are nice to you, that's the time to be suspicious. No one in this world is kind. No one. And I mean that. Whatever happened to being decent and nice? I always hope to be. I never hope to hold grudges. But come on. Bad behavior cannot be ignored. Inaction is also a decision. 

So is lying by omission.

The cruelest of cuts is the one where, a person tries to be your friend - then asks for money. 

Nope.

These people are a day late and a dollar short in intelligence.

By far, the stupidest people I talk to are the ones who perceive themselves to be beautiful, powerful, and/or rich.

To hell with those people.

I'm better off without them.

And I mean that.
