"Everyone knows a friendship needs to be reciprocal but sometimes we just forget. We expect so much from our friends but are, more often than not, unwilling to sacrifice as much for them. We take them for granted, thinking that they'll always be around. Sure, friends accept one another for who they are but really, it's more than just that." Quotes Xinru. (Eh, proud not?)
I can't agree more. I think being my friend has certain disadvantages, with my constant need to raise funds/sell stuff that often makes friends obliged to help. Last time, I had to clear all my band concert tickets, and close friends like Yizhen and Kai are the only ones who bought each and every ticket, even the $25 esplanade one. In fact, I think I may have taken their generosity for granted and thus, I vowed to myself Im not going to ask them to go for Cliqueus. I thought I had escaped this kind of thing for good, until the committee came up with this scheme to sell bash tickets. I know friends can only help one another to a certain limit, and that I have to think of others' situation and not force them to buy whatever Im currently selling, and I have accepted that fully already. Im sorry if I appeared pissed today because you were making excuses not to go for the bash, but I wasn't pissed because you don't want to go really. It's the comments you made. Like have you ever considered why Im doing this? Im trying so hard because Im working for something I care about and want to contribute to the best of my ability. Im sorry if I appear to be making use of the friendships we have; I don't mean it. Just wished you had been more sensitive, be more supportive of the things I care about. If you want a refund, I won't take offense. Really.
