I was off WhatsApp for a whole year in 2022. Things were rough financially, I had just lost big money in a meme coin and was deep in depression.
In that dark period, less than 10 people actually called to check on me.
Then in 2023, I bounced back hard: made serious money in crypto and won โฆ60M from betting.
Reinstalled WhatsApp and started posting my odogwu lifestyle.
Suddenly, people who never reached out during my absence started flooding my DMs with โhiโ and โhow far.โ
As a sharp guy, I only replied to those who checked on me during my darkest time.
True friends show up when the bag is empty, not when itโs full.
Lesson learned.
