Money tests the true value of friendships. Money exposes a person's true personality. The subject of "money" has wisened me for the harsh reality of the world out there.
"Then I must say I am disappointed in you as a friend. When you were drunk I helped you back to your room, cleaned up your vomit everything. The least you could do is to make my job easier."
I do not choose to cough out $65 from my hard-earned money to repay you for taking care of me. You could have told me, girl, I know I would have appreciated it alot. But on a personal statement, it is rather naive to bring up one incident in exchange for money. 2 completely seperate issues, bunched together because of a mere $65. No, make it $65 x 20 because its $65 each from 20 people. Yes it has not been easy chasing 20 people for money because we certainly bore no responsibility over this $1k+ loss of funds.
"...then its your own problem because we have sent out the email months ago and you should have been prepared for it."
I should have been prepared? How would I know months ago that I would have to end up paying $289.20 for a mistake I never thought was my fault? How would I know months ago that I would end up in a financial debt of $300 and could not pay back because months ago, I did not know that I would lose 3 more students. The ugly side of human nature has emerged, loud and distinct, right in front of my eyes - it sickens me, it tears at me from within; my heart aches as I witness the things that people say and do because of money.
I wonder if it is all karma coming back to me, karma booting me from behind for having broken hearts due to my own self-centredness in the past. I wonder if this is what life has in store for me for choosing to pursue my own life and carelessly throwing away the love and concern that my previous boyfriends have showered upon me. All I wanted was a colourful (and dramatic) life; all I wanted was a life I would look back with no regrets - all these I have achieved - but the obstacles I have to cross now seemed equivalent to what I almost heartlessly plowed through in the past.
But, I am but 21 years of age. These setbacks are nothing but contributions to my resilience (did I get the spelling right?) in life, these betrayals are nothing but added strength to my character. You do not bring me down that easily.
And thank God for my friends, the people who have believed in me, the wonderful company I have indulged in. Thank God for who I am now, as a friend, a daughter and a lady in society. Thank God for my learned talents and skills. For everything in my life.
