It's been a few years now since this happened and I still don't understand how I lost my 3 childhood friends because of it.
"The middle class have it so much easier than we do down here,..." (meaning poverty)
My childhood friend took offence to this post and wrote me in a direct message that she and her husband work very hard and how dare I suggest we don't. WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? The post was not about her. it was about poverty. The post was not about the middle class and if they deserve what they have. It was about how hard poverty was for me. This was a few years ago and I have not spoken to this friend since.
What happened?
I have found that since I fell into povery I have lost everyone.
Why? Instead of seeing "Oh,... Jacquie must be struggling in poverty" they saw a diss to them. I just don't get it. I think about it now and then. It bothers me. But like other stuff that happened during that period, I just have to let it go. It will eat me up inside if I don't.
I lost everyone the year I fell into poverty. I really do think they just thought I was whining and complaining about an imagined situation. How they thought I was dissing them is something I will never know. but I lost 3 friends over it.
I have lost so much in my life. So much,...
