Dearest Blog,
I've been best friends with someone for about, oh let's just round up and say 8 years. 8 years? Seems like a pretty good amount of time to know someone, right? Well obviously it wasn't.
Today my boyfriend Adam gets an IM from Sebrina, who I've known for about 8 years and who I've been close to for so long. She was like a sister to me. Now her and her mother, who I considered my god-mother, teamed up and attacked my boyfriend telling him that "I am not happy" with him and that we think "we are so much better than them" because we have "money".
Now, my dearest blog, there have been a few times that Adam and I have been tight on money and had to make our last $20 stretch. There have been times we've had to buy off-brand name items just to make sure we had food in the house. We're not poor but we never claim to have all this so called money either. We're just smarter with the money that do we have and don't blow it all on petty things. We buy our needs before our wants. Always.
Also, I'd say I'm pretty damn happy here. I no longer live with my parents and I'm out on my own with my boyfriend. Is it hard sometimes? Yes, but I've never once told Sebrina or her mom "I'm so unhappy." or that there was anything significantly wrong with Adam and I. Do relationships have their ups and downs? Yes, but sometimes you just keep on fighting and Adam and I have a pretty simple relationship I'd like to think. Unlike Sebrina and her boyfriend Joseph who seem to think it's normal to have one argument and "break up" when they live together under Sebrina's mom's house. Children. Adam and I may have an argument, we say what needs to be said, we get mad for about 2 hours, then we realize what we argued about wasn't that serious, and we move on.
I have never, EVER said I was better than Sebrina and her family. Just because I moved into a house with my boyfriend and no longer living in a trailer anymore like they do. There is nothing wrong with living in a trailer. I lived in one for the first 16 years of my life, then moved into a house with my parents, then at 18 on October 10th, 2010 I moved into another house with my boyfriend, Adam. It never once crossed my mind that I was better than they are or that I shouldn't talk to them because "I have money now". So where they got their so called facts from, is beyond me. They turned on me and my boyfriend not the other way around.
What a day, blog, what a day. Just when you think you know someone, they turn on you.
See, I agree.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that the two things that were brought up was money and intelligence. I was specifically told I call you stupid, act like I'm smarter than you and Sebrina and that I'm (we're) better than they are because I have paper that people make valuable.
Neither of those have I ever said nor have I even thought of.
I hate it when people pull the pity card.
But haters gon' hate no matter what. Like yeah we have a great relationship and they're jealous. Same with money but the both those children living there need to grow the fuck up, stop making ignorant unfounded fucking assumptions about things they don't even understand and most of all, learn what it's like to take responsibility for your-fucking-self financially and learn that in order to live under a roof you can call your own, pay your own bills and live without your hand being held 100% of the time, taking hand-outs when they're applicable takes a sense of maturity that they're far from.
But they're only kids. They have no idea what life is beyond that and I kind of envy that. Life used to be simple.
taking hand-outs and stealing from family or otherwise when such is applicable***
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention I lost all respect for Sebrina when I was told she stole money from her mother who isn't exactly ripe for giving more shit away than she can afford.
