Sometimes...
Sometimes I want to scream! So many people I know do not care to be responsible for their actions. Their basic attitude is, "Oh, well. This is who I am. People can deal with it." It frustrates me beyond no end, but I usually don't say a word to people. When I do - as I did yesterday - I almost always get in trouble. All I did was tell a friend that he should pay his rent on time because his roommate would like him to, and that turned into my putting him in a bad mood and possibly losing his friendship! What happened to being responsible for paying rent on time versus spending nearly $200 on a drag outfit and crying to your best friend that you don't know how you're going to pay your bills? Now, I'm not perfect at this, and we all make mistakes. However, I don't throw out a friendship because someone says, "Now, Jon. That was stupid. You should have paid your car payment instead of buying a wig for your friend." What's even worse, is I've usually only skipped bill payments when I was spending my money ON OTHER PEOPLE (and then it was usually the friend from yesterday). I'm not a perfect friend. Most would agree, but just once I would like to be the one that doesn't have to bend over backwards for a relationship. I want to be the one that says, "This is how I am. Deal with it," and have people deal. But, that's not me. I try to make people happy, and in the end I get hurt...
