Pay it Forward
I’d been scrolling through Instagram for the better part of the morning. My acquaintances from high school really seemed to be thriving. I would be too if I had what they had. Yes, @maryanntiller had founded a wildly successful nonprofit. But her dad gave her the first contribution and I heard it was like a million dollars. Yes, @rip_baby had a massive, sun-drenched studio where she made interesting, beautiful art that she sold for thousands. But I know for a fact that her parents fully bought her an apartment when she first moved to New York. Yes, @abidoesfitness was a beautiful yoga instructor and fitness influencer. But I’m almost one hundred percent sure that her mom paid for her to get butt implants as soon as we graduated. Life’s easy with money. It’s easy to be generous and hot and creative when you don’t have to work for a living. Unfortunately, that was simply not the situation I found myself in. I worked for everything I had and I helped others when I could. But I just didn’t have enough money to live the lives these people were living.
