yes, a lot of them. When I started making money and being successful...they just kept dragging me down. calling me a jew, telling me that i hate myself for trying to be white and successful. constantly, told me i would never go so far because i'm black and hispanic
Seems like it's always the very people who should be celebrating your success and uplifting you are the first to try and sabotage and discourage you. I swear, people are sick.@empanadas

@empanadas my dad says people can be like crabs. They see one of them rising above & doing better than them & they only want to bring them back down. Pathetic & selfish but sadly a reality for many.
@empanadas Damn.

@AnonymouslyYoursyeah it hurts more when they were the reason why i wanted to be successful. i wanted to help them out.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit it's sad how people always think that success is a limited resource

@empanadas I understand that feeling of being let down. I don’t understand why the people we care about could say or do such awful things. But it isn’t anything to do with you. That’s a them issue. We hope they’ll sort it out & rise above. Either way though we have to live how we feel is best regardless of how others see it.
Everyone wants to reap the rewards but very few are willing to sow the seeds and do the work.@empanadas
