Users Are Losers

We all know that everyone needs someone to vent to and its tough to deny someone that deep breath and exhale but be cautious. So many people will mentally and emotionally unload on you in hopes for you to stop what you’re doing and save the day. Never mind that they never even bothered to check on you before unloading a full clip. You can't remember the last time they hit you up, but you’re almost positive that it was something one-sided and full of weird energy. As lovely as it is to be so upfront with your selfishness, it wouldn’t be bad for you to put a little butter on the toast first. Pour a few sips in my cup sometimes. Damn.

Many of the best users are good at always needing money for something. If you’re able to work and make money, you should be doing so by any means. People fall on hard times, but damn. Are you going to give it your all before you stick your picky paws out? People have been selling and bartering their goods (material things, not your body, unless that’s what you’re into) since the beginning of time. Why are you so opposed to selling material things for the sake of paying a bill or having money in your pockets?

So many people buy designer because it is an “investment” but are afraid to lose it for a greater cause. If people can pawn their rings, family heirlooms, and electronics; you should have no problem selling your Chanel bag or Gucci sneakers. All of that shit is temporary. If you can no longer afford it, you should get rid of it. Don’t inconvenience us because you can’t get your shit together and aren’t trying to. You would rather drown your issues in designer than to build up a savings or some rainy day funds. How convenient. These “investments” that you hold so near are replaceable. I guess its different strokes for different folks.

Question: Who are you trying to impress while you’re struggling to get from point A to B. Better yet, who are you trying to impress if your phone only works on wifi? You can pay your bill for months by selling one pair of shoes or a purse. But let me guess, that’s beneath you. I don’t care to count your coins at all because I have my coinage to manage. At the same time, do you know how much of a slap in the face it is to help someone who isn’t making an effort to help themselves? Not only that, helping those who instantly forget that you helped them always leaves a bad aftertaste. These are the reasons why people say, “If you can’t afford to lose it, you can’t afford to loan it.” That’s not even the point, but it does hold some truth.

Since when is it a better option to inconvenience those around you or use people instead of working harder and smarter? I don’t give a damn what happens; I’ll always want my money back. Instead of hitting happy hour for double shots maybe you should be doing a double at work or doubling down on your job search. It won’t help to skip your nail or hair appointment either. In addition to what you’re adding, have you once thought about how much your friends have on their shoulders? We can’t tell people how to live their lives or where to put their money, but we can limit how much we let them disrupt ours. I say that to say this: Figure it out for yourself, ungrateful ass.
