Just watched a clip with Clinton Portis where he said the people who were loud when he had money disappeared the moment things got quiet.
He said, “Money didn’t change me, it changed how people treated me.”
That one line hit home. I’ve lost “friends” after a breakup, after job losses, and even after promotions. And I’ve learned being alone with peace is better than being surrounded by fake support.
How do y’all filter who’s really in your corner when life shifts, especially when you’re doing well?
How do you know who’s real vs who’s just around?
