I had a friend who always seemed to be going through something. Whenever she needed money, I helped. Whenever she needed someone to listen, I stayed on the phone. If she needed a ride somewhere, I rearranged my plans. I never complained because I believed that's what friends were for. One month, she called me crying because she was struggling financially. She asked if I could lend her some money and promised to return it the following week. I sent it. The following week came. Nothing. I waited another week before asking about it. She said, “I'm sorry, things are still difficult. I'll sort it out soon.” I told her it was okay. Then I noticed something. She had posted pictures from an expensive restaurant. I didn't say anything. A few days later, she posted herself shopping. That's when I realized the problem wasn't that she couldn't pay me back. She simply didn't think paying me back was important.
