Yeah I hate the attitude off dumping friends just because they’re going through some shit, they can be in a terrible place for years, if you let them lean on you a little you might have earned yourself someone who would die for you once they’ve recovered.

My Monstera did this. Funnily enough, the dying leaves also had a certain amount of pests on it. Healthy ones were clean. Turns out it was just overgrowing itself; leaves at the back were in its own shadow, not catching enough light andwere discarded. Thing was a monster.

Another ‘it’s all about me’ quote. Some things we do for others, not because it serves us, is a personal growth experience or makes us happy. Example: there are definitely times when your baby howls with colic, your toddler is demanding or your teen is about to do something life threatening and you help out of love, your commitment and compassion, not because your kid is serving you, or you feel it’s a growth experience or are happy.

This speaks to me, last year I walked away from a career I worked for 10 years... It stopped filling me with pride and after years, the stress and workload just did not feel worth it. I'm currently on a break but I'm seriously starting to enjoy myself again, working odd volunteer jobs to discover an industry I can be happy in, connecting with family and slowly building myself back up again. I'm as poor as I've ever been, but I've decided I won't trade my mental health for for a job that doesn't feel worth it.

Hardly, either they worked their ass off to get the best of everything or they were given it at birth.

One way they can't enjoy it because of all the suffering they had to go through to get it. The other way they can't enjoy it because it's all they have ever known.

Life is what you make it
