Revelation

I'm standing up for myself. I'm not going to allow myself to be stepped on or walked all over. I'm tired of doing things for people and then being treated like complete crap. I don't do things to get something in return, I do them because I enjoy doing it. but would it be so much to ask to just be respected a little? If you ask someone to take you somewhere but then they never do so you come running to me to pick up their broken end of the deal, then I become their backup. I don't want to be the backup. I have my own life, my own things to do. I can't just be "on-call" for when they decide "oh, I don't feel like taking them - my back-up will take this one" no. I refuse. And when I'm doing YOU a favor, shouldn't you have to conform to my schedule? If I'm leaving at 11:30, i shouldn't have to wait until 4:00 when YOU can leave. Especially if you say "we can leave at 2:30" but aren't ready until 4:00. I'm done getting used.

Call me a jerk, say I'm rude - I don't care. If I'm going to be treated like crap when I do things for people, then I'm not going to do things for people.

That's all I have to say about that.
