Trust Fund Baby

So I used to have this friend, who shall remain nameless. This "delightful" friend sucked at being there for me and I had stopped putting energy into the friendship. I have learned that I have worth beyond measure and not everyone deserves a front row in my life. And so this person called me up recently and started asking me all about my life and then insulted me right to my face. Something about I don't understand a hard life cause I'm so rich. And I just laughed and said, Please! Show me my trust fund! I need the account number! It was funny because not only was she ignorant of my situation and making assumptions about things she didn't know about, it was ugly to see the envy and it said so much more about her than it did about me. And I was so proud of myself because I said, I really want to hang up on you right now. And then she got all apologetic, and it's not such an unforgivable thing, not nearly as bad as other things that have happened, but it's interesting how I've gotten to a place where I just won't put up with this stuff anymore. If you want to be in my life, it's advanced citizenship. I'm not taking any more crap sitting down!
