Two weeks ago, I was thrilled to be invited to my friend’s baby shower and offered to cook for 50 guests. I spent the entire day before the event preparing food, excited to celebrate this milestone. However, that evening, my friend messaged me, uninviting me due to limited venue space but still expecting me to deliver the food. Shocked and hurt after investing so much time, energy, and money, I calmly replied that I couldn’t deliver the
food due to a change in plans. The next day, I learned the shower lacked enough food, causing issues. While disappointed that my kindness was taken for granted, I learned a valuable lesson about setting boundaries. I don’t hold a grudge, but this experience taught me to prioritize relationships with those who truly value my efforts. True friends appreciate the love and care you invest, and those are the connections worth keeping.
