Iamdrsoul:

“While I understand your predicament, no one owes you anything. Might sound harsh, but it’s the reality… unfortunately just because you are kind and good to others means they will reciprocate. While I don’t know the entire story behind you guys’ friendship, rather than cry over spilled milk, let that inspire you! Your greatness might be even bigger than that of your fellow counterpart. So no need to compare, just walk your journey and trust your process, with God, my bro it will pay off❤️!”
