Some people aren’t concerned about the welfare of others, while others are only concerned with the happiness of others; which one are you? Do you genuinely care about your friends, or are they just a means to getting what you want? True love is about giving of yourself and not expecting anything in return. It’s a remarkable quality in someone when they’re more worried about you than they are about themselves. I am grateful for the friends I have who genuinely love me and take the time to show me. And whenever I meet someone who seems unable to give of themselves, I’m reminded of those in my life who endlessly give me the greatest gifts of all: their time, their love, and their dedication to giving me something to smile about each and every day. So, thank you to those who live up to the definition of love; you know who you are, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. ~M xo

I once had a friend who I loved completely. Probably more than I even should’ve. But the thing is, they weren’t there to give, but to take instead. And they took a lot from me. The last straw was when they plagiarized some of my work. And rather than make things right, and give me credit in their book, they decided to instead tell me that I should feel honored for what they did, and they couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t do it again.
Needless to say, we are no longer friends, and after looking them up on social media, I proceeded to block every online place I could think of that they might be. In doing so, I discovered just how unashamed they were for their actions because they are out there promoting their book, taking full credit for something that isn’t entirely theirs. I honestly couldn’t believe what I was seeing because I trusted this person for five years, and we were as close as friends could be. But apparently, some people have no regard for others, and they just want to stomp on anyone who gets in their way. I’m quite sure this person will likely steal from me again, and so I’m not sure what I will do if that happens. It’s bad enough when random strangers steal your work, but it’s a whole different story when it’s someone you were once really close too.
Anyway, it’s just good to finally be done with this person and to never have to hear from them again. I think the worst part is that my trust has been broken, and that’s something that is very difficult to get back once it’s taken from you. But I’m moving on, and I’m literally doing so, as I’m just about to move several states away from where I currently am. It’s freeing to know that I’ll soon be starting over, and I guess it’s good I’m not dragging along any drama with me when I go. I’m really excited about what’s ahead, and I think this new, exciting change is just what I need.
