Facebook is way that we can re-connect or connect with friends. Facebook is a place where we can share moments and often crazy thoughts. Facebook also gives you the option to send direct messages and chat with people.
Recently I received a direct message from a friend who is rarley on Facebook and someone who I really haven't spoken to on there or even on the phone. Now I speak to about 95% of the people on here via phone, texting and/or direct messaging. This person sent me a direct message stating that they needed a huge favor. Now I'm thinking maybe they need me to bake something for at the last minute. They leave their number and I call back.
Now I haven't spoken to this person well pretty much since high school and that's been over 20 years. When I call this person, they give me their story, they hit a rough patch and now have gotten back on their feet but not fully. I'm pretty sure you know what their question was right? Well if you don't, they asked to borrow a significant amount of money. Yes I haven't spoken to this person in 20 years, we are friends on Facebook and this person makes rare appearances on my timeline. They gave me the reason to why they needed the money. My mom always said, if you can't afford it, then you don't need it. Downgrading isn't always a bad thing.
This person said they chose me because of my inspirational quotes. None of which state that I got financial riches. I let them kow that it wasn't in my means to help. Then the person texted back, "do you think a fraction of what I asked is doable?"
W.T.F?!
