I Spent Hours Preparing for a Baby Shower, Only to Be Uninvited the Night Before

It was disappointing to see my kindness taken for granted, but it was also a valuable lesson: sometimes, it’s okay to set boundaries and say no when others don’t appreciate your efforts.

Looking back, I don’t hold a grudge, but I’ve realized how important it is to surround myself with people who value and respect my time.

True friends will always appreciate the love and care you put into helping them, and those are the relationships worth holding on to.
