Storyteller dropping uncomfortable truths about love, dating & life | Real experiences that fix your mindset & raise your standards | No bare minimums here
My friend bought me an expensive birthday gift.
I couldn't afford anything close to it, so I felt embarrassed.
She noticed.
Don't compete with what I can afford, she said. "Give me what you genuinely can."
I never forgot that. Real friendship doesn't turn generosity into a competition.
