Do you ever wonder about your relevance in people's lives? This thought comes to me on two occasions; when I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and when I feel like I need to do more for a person. One thought often leads to another.
Sometimes I think about these friends who often tell me "people only call me when they need something" and I understand why they tell me this because I hardly ever come around people only when I need help. I'm not a freeloader (unless you're 
Then again, there are these friends who I've come to understand only feel like their relevance is financial. These people barely understand what it means to have a friend who doesn't want anything other than their good in life. Sometimes, I feel bad for them.
I once had a friend who couldn't place a finger on what I wanted from him. He was the generous rich sort so I understood that he had a lot of money to give but he never understood that I really just liked him and refusing his random gifts had nothing to do with my interest or lack of interest in him.
We are no longer friends. Still cordial, but I can't understand how a person could feel so irrelevant and be so blind to their amazing qualities that they only think their worth is what they can provide.
Maybe I'm missing out on a lot of things, I don't know. I'm constantly trying to put my mind out there to get feedback on whether or not my ideologies and perceptions of humans is correct but I always get positive feedback, I almost feel perfect.
To this human, and many others like him, the only reason a person should be in their life is financial, as far as I can tell or maybe there's just something wrong with me and my refusal to accept gifts has a different meaning to different people.
Is this a thing that comes with wealth that I probably don't understand because I'm poor? Will I eventually become so money-minded that every conversation has to end with a figure and a debit or credit question?
I guess I don't know right now as I'm not exactly financially relevant to anyone but myself. Maybe when I finally attain Rich Aunty status I'll have my answers.
