Ode To Myself

by tempeste

 
Done with toxic friends.
Like dry, diseased, dead branches,
they must be cut off.

Better late than never, right?

It took me 25 years to make the decision. The crazy thing is SHE (first friend and neighbour then boss) needed me more than I needed her.

I would do endless errand out of working hours.. for free

I even worked for 5 years gratis. (two/three hours five days a week). She owes me 15.000 euros. ( USA $16.000 )

She considered me a maid, not a friend. I 'm to blame more than her because I allowed her to use me.

If I can help out why not? but I should have drawn a line.
Be of help, yes but when I noticed she was taking advantage, I should have confronted her. If I showed no esteem for myself , why should she have?

anyways, finally, I grew some balls.

She ticks several boxes above.
