Only a Few People Truly Care about You

I remember being my young self, popularity at a all time high. People hitting me up constantly, wanting to hang out and spend time with me.
Calling me friend, compadre, brother, talking how they have my back. Years later I look back and ponder where are these folks now? Where are the folks who said
they would have my back through thick and thin? Where are the females who said they loved me and couldn't live without me?  They are out there and could care one iota about you.

The thing many people fail to realize is that most people don't have your back, most people would love to see you fail. Most people will ride for you when the money is coming in, your car is running, your life is going great, but once the struggles pop up they are gone.  It's amazing that the few people that actually do care for you, that you probably won't recognize it and treat them like garbage.

I've been guilty of this as a young man who did not know the ways. 

A Girl Named M

Years ago when I was young, there was this girl M.  M was not the most attractive girl out there, but M had a heart of gold. M would call me and text me every day, M would ask how I'm doing, M would cook me little treats and M would genuinely take interest in me and the goals I wanted to accomplish in life.

M was a singer and would invite me out to watch her sing at her youth group, M would invite me out to family gatherings. If I needed a kidney M would have probably given it to me, M was there for me in my worst days and in my best days, however I treated M like garbage.

I took advantage of M's kindness.  I started dating someone and even then I knew it hurt M, but she was still super nice to me. It wasn't until the girl I was dating, gave me a ultimatum of her or M. I was such a simp and addicted to beauty that I chose her and cut off M. 

It's been about 9 years since I've talked to or seen M, however I still remember the kindness and the heart of Gold. 

It's kind of amazing/sad that all the qualities now that I would want in a wife if I were to ever get married brehs M had. Even almost a decade later, all the women I have canoodled and cavorted with there is only one woman I could truly say cared for me and that was M.  

Years ago I found M on facebook, she's married now with a few kids and living in a south american country making a difference in people's lives.   

Don't be guilty of doing this, remember when you down and out the few people who were actually there. The few people who encouraged you, helped you out, lent a ear, even if you never showed appreciation they still stucked by you.
