Yeah, some friends are like that, when they need some of your help, or want to borrow some money, and you give them without hesistant, it because you think she/he is your friend, you just help without thinking..but why is it that when the time you need some help from them, there nowhere to be found. Honestly..i've encountered this kind of situation, it's not that you lend them because you want it back too..it's just that, as a friend, can't you just give a helping hand without asking the same thing i did for them..Can you just help me back without asking from you since you know i am in a bad situation too..like helping each other..

It has been two weeks now that I have decided to restructure the meaning of friendship. I have been a very avid and generous friend, always thinking of them well over me. However this year I have gone through so many financial and emotional issues that of my hundreds and I mean hundreds of supposed friends not a single one has called to see if I am okay or if I am even eating. Not a text message and nor emails either.. hmmmm I suppose it gives new meaning to friends, I mean even a simple how are you, hope today is better or simply just checking up on you. Nothing, so unfortunately even the closest and tightest friends will be re-thought. I will be polite and cordial just that the meaning of friendships for me has sort of lost it's flavor. Oh forgot, about 3 weeks ago a who I though was a very dear friends did email me, not how are you long time no speak, you what the email said, was there anyway I could donate a little something towards this fundraiser she was hosting. Hmmmm

That is why we have to be sincere when helping our friends. Do your best without expecting anything from your friends. Why? Because by doing so, you let God smiles upon you, and I believe God knows what's the best for you. So, whenever you help your friends, make sure you are okay and it does not give you any burden. Help only if you can.

Yomy.. its not only you..but most of us face this types of problems. in life... the moral is dont expect much from anyone.. if possible then never expect the truth is that, you think for others that doesn't mean they will also think back for you in the same way... life is a vast platform to learn a lot of things... it seem too much big words that i am telling you.. but i have faced this in my 28 years of life and still continuing.. you have to make it habit... :) live your life.... like a king... so you don't have to rely on others... am I clear??
