I had a friend who used to call me at 4am crying about her boyfriend. I’d wake up, listen, let her vent, and then go back to sleep, more than once. One night I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d return the favor and called her at 4am. She answered and told me she was sleeping, & I should call back tomorrow. Moral of the story: always remember that energy you give isn’t always going to be reciprocated—set your boundaries, even with “friends.”
Sekecoh-kecoh kawan-kawan aku… Aku jage name korang depan strangers or orang yang kau tak tau. Selagi aku boleh angkat, aku angkat. I’ll put flowers & spray perfume all over your name.
