What a Weekend…

Well, this weekend became another lesson in dishonesty becoming the norm. Sad as it is, and so troubling. I think people have just lost all pride in themselves. I have had the worst time in dealing with people. Had a guy swear up and down how honest he was. Talking about respect, decency and making sure to always keep his word, and then not pay me the $250 he'd promised to pay.

Then a girl asked for a ride to a town about 120 miles away. Telling me she had gas money, and that when we got there her boyfriend would have more. So I agreed to take her. She gave me $20, promising he'd have more. Yep, we get there and he has no money. I'm poor. I didn't have any money myself. And a little less than half a tank of gas. I made it home but with very little gas. Was really stressing about making it home.

And sold a dirt bike to a friend, expecting to get paid. Nope, have to wait till he can get some money. Of course didn't hear that till after we took the bike to his house. I'm beginning to think that people are just trash and not deal with anyone. But I don't want to be like my Ma. She was a bitter old woman that spent most of her time alone. I don't mind being by myself, spent many years in that situation. And it just ain't much fun. So I'm not sure what to do. Continue trusting until given a reason not to. Continue believing that money and possessions are unimportant. I'm sure that's what I'll do.

Be nice if people would just have some pride. If people would realize that we are a memory. It's up to the individual to be the memory that is left behind. Our bodies are temporary, hair falls out or changes, teeth fall out. Nothing stays the same or lasts forever. Except the memory that we leave. And I hope to be remembered as a person that helped, a person of good standards. That is my desire. Y'all be good.
