Money has a way of revealing true colors.
Some people will laugh with us, eat with us,
and call us “family”—
until the day we say,
“I cannot lend you money.”
That is when we learn who respects us as a person
and who only respects what we can give.
We think generosity will earn loyalty.
But real loyalty is not measured by how much we give—
it is measured by how much they value us
even when we cannot give at all.
Protect your peace.
Set your boundaries.
Because those who truly care
will stay even when your wallet is closed.
Genesis M. Auza
