Should I allow my history to repeat itself?

And suddenly it hit me. I was used and abused and discarded when there was no need for me anymore.

1.She's been out of my life for 9 years, since she chose her friendship with Miss Piggy-Tan over me. Ignored me in public and never bothered contacting me. Pretended I never existed for 9 years. And all of a sudden she's back in my life, playing the best-friend role again, promising to help me get a job in her department, taking me out occasionally only if I helped her with her Lil mission. I am busy for 2 days only, due to an illness and she has ignored me ever since. I could be nice and call and offer her my help if she still needs it, but should I allow history to repeat itself?

2. She's been a friend I've met during a placement in 1997. She turned out to live nearby and we've been going out to Shopping malls an average of once every 2 months. I've been 2 her house about 4 or 5 times only. She expected me to act as a bridesmaid for her brother's wedding since she lacks many friends and it was also expected of me to entertain the guests. She only calls me when she feels like it and when she needs a boost of new gossip. I wouldn't call her normal for many reasons. She still expects me to be the entertainer at the drop of a hat. I could keep things the way they are, but I intend to rise to the top and will discard of her at a later time. Still, should I allow my history to repeat itself?

3. Reem only calls when she needs company. We used to be best friends, but she gave up on our friendship at the drop of a hat for a reason that real friends wouldn't give a toss about. She's done it twice already and asked for my company pretending everything is still the same, but after that she'd go back to ignoring me all over again. I need a huge favor from her, but I could also ignore her the next time she calls and hope to find my helping hand elsewhere. Should I allow my history to repeat itself?

I wish I had the strength to ignore Reem the way I've ignored others and totally erased her from my life. Perhaps then I'll get some of my dignity back.

People use and abuse each other and I am so fed up with being sincere to everyone. The good friends, the ones who deserve it, I intend to remain true to. But these others, my intention is to discard of them once I get to where I want to be. Yes, it is selfish but in this day and age, one must remain cunning and evil to get to places.

Till we meet again,
Sedeso
