Extravagance

It’s not like I want it. After so long, don’t you know I plan my schedules like a week ahead or something? When you last minute stuff comes along and you ask for my help, usually I would just keep quiet and try to accommodate you. Why can’t you leave me alone. I feel guilty. I do! I have no choice. A promise is a promise. It’ll be a quick one today.

But, indeed, I do agree with you to a certain extent. You say we must be pragmatic even when it comes to the people around. I disagree with you. We have been told since we’re young that it’s better to give than to receive. Sigh. You’re right. Sometimes I don’t get appreciated after all the things I do. Presents, listening ear, printing of notes blah blah blah. And worst still, I get bitched behind my back. I would rather its right in front of my face and we settle it once and for all.

What hurts is when you realized it doesn’t matter how much you do cos some people will take it for granted. And you will become a ‘lifeguard’.
