Weekend-Engagement topics: WEEK 312 ~ Burning Bridges
Burning bridges; have you done it and if so why or why not? Explain with examples.
For real, I never thought there would come a day or time I would decide to burn bridges but most times for one's sanity and for the sake of not harbouring hatred or something you do not want to harbour for the sake of our heart and conscience, burning bridges is the best answer.
I am an emotional person, and an overthinker, and as such, I tend to play everything anyone says or does to me, which also leaves me emotionally unstable even in situations that I am not supposed to be and it does really get me angry and hurt more than I wish it would be.
Five years ago, I helped a friend make a deal with my personal data, it was one of the biggest mistakes I made but at the time I was doing it, I didn't know and I never knew it was one of the biggest mistakes I made because it turned sour and our relationship went south when it was time to pay up.
She needed help to purchase a phone on credit, so she begged to use my personal data for the process as her personal details for purchasing the phone on credit weren't complete, so I obliged because she was my friend, so I thought.
A few months down the line, the phone got stolen, I understood with her and allowed her be but the persistent calls, threatening messages from the establishment she was in loan with, made it difficult for me but I couldn't do anything but beg them to see how we can make some agreement and changes for the loan remaining but they weren't budging but regardless I kept begging whenever I got those calls and messages that were threatening.
A year passed, and one day I got a huge amount of money, and it was instantly removed to pay off half of the total sum of the loan that had accumulated, so I reached out to her for the first time, to see how she can pay back my money removed because it was my school fees and maybe pay off the accumulated loan so I do not have issues in the future and there was where the problem began.
She wasn't having it, and refused to pay off my own money neither was she seeing that the loan could be an issue to be, I had to involve people who were more mature than us but she felt I had put her in a corner and started lashing out and raining insults.
After the last meeting we had, I told her I was never going to see her as someone I knew, I was never going to see her in need and offer a helping hand, so even if she sees me in need or on the road, I would not need get to acknowledge me because I won't acknowledge her and I do not need her paying up the loan anymore, I would find a way to sort out the loan because I caused it and there was the last time I came in contact with her or even acknowledge her when I see her around or in a mutual gathering.
