Success and Failure
If you're going to put yourself in a situation, don't blame other people when you can't get out of it. I know you're close to claiming bankruptcy and honestly, that sucks. But maybe if you hadn't been so impulsive and had actually thought things out like the adult you claimed to be you wouldn't be like this. And then when you realized how deep you were in, you got your little puppy dog, brother, and uncle involved. Yes. Way to go. Have your brother tell my friend that she's a bitch. Tell me that I don't listen when he interrupts me. Make crap up. And insult you. All at the same time. Yes. That sounds quite smart.
I'm kind of insulted by you. Not because you badger me and have other people trying to get me to change my agreement with you, but because of how stupid you must think I am. And how little support you must have thought you would have gotten from my friends. You aren't the only one in a tight situation, sweety. Look around you, at the people you used to claim were your friends. Do you see any one of us rolling around in gold coins? No. We are all just trying to get by. And while we're doing that, we make mistakes. But guess what? We learn from them. You are so used to other people cleaning up your messes, that now you don't have any clue what to do. You are too proud for your own good. If you want to throw scripture at me, let me throw this one at you: D&C 39:9 Nevertheless, thou hast seen great sorrow, for thou hast rejected me many times because of pride and the cares of the world.
But honestly, how is it that I know two people in very similar situations, yet they respond so differently? The one is blaming everyone around them, and doing nothing on her own, just sitting and pouting like a child learning to walk who has fallen down and just sits and cries about it. The other is trying to make do with what they have and in the meantime accepts the help offered by others, allowing them to hold her up and walk with them, hand in hand, until she's confident enough take another step out on her own again. The one files for bankruptcy, the other sells her accessories. One is filled with pride, the other humility. One blames others, the other takes blame.
The sad thing is, that as similar as their situations might be now, ten years from now it won't be. The one will not have changed or learned from any of this, the other will be a confident woman, having learned valuable lessons and weathered the storm, she is ready to fave the world. She may not be perfect, but she will be a success. She might not be rich or famous, but she can honestly say that she made lemonade when she had lemons pelted at her.
