Months ago, I was dropped as a bridesmaid after I chose rent over a $350 wedding event fee. My friend called me “a bad friend” and ended our friendship on the spot.
Yesterday, she called me—now struggling financially—and asked to borrow money after both she and her fiancé lost their jobs.
I said no.
Not out of anger, but because I finally understood my worth and peace of mind matters more than a one-sided friendship.
Sometimes, losing people is what brings clarity—and calm.
