storytime for buying presents.

**storytime***

I used to give everyone I knew presents. I didn't have a lot of money. I wanted to show everyone that made an impact on my year that I cared about them. I would go out of my way to diy a great presents. Remembering they favorite: music, shows, food, color. hobby, or animal. I did it all to mostly I was so scared this people will leave me. I wanted to keep them around even through they haven't thought about me all month. They didn't go out of they way to get me something to say Thank you back.

Last year I was trying so hard to meet up with my friends. I got them presents for them, they kids, and husbands. I was nagging them since the start of December of when I can DROP off the presents. I didn't want to do a big thing about. They said we will meet you in a January for Mom Cafe Brunch. One of the girls said We will exchange gifts! We will show them off on our socials to show everyone that we are still loved and getting presents in January. I was so confused because I just wanted to drop them off. But what did expect this mom lived for Instagram. But then I would see the two girls hang out all December without me. Telling me they were busy and can't leave. Sorry this weekend is too busy for us.

When it came to Mom brunch meet up. I came in with my bags to give them. They loved everything I gave them. They sent me videos of they husband enjoying the presents. Also they kids loving the presents. They made me two a bunch of pictures of them in the cafe holding they presents.

Do you want to know what I get in return? When they said they were going to exchange gifts with me? I got Clearance item Christmas cookie cutters. Summer clearance sunscreen for my son. I have told this woman both I hate baking. They said well you like to cook? Its the same thing right? I understand this girls husband do all the cooking. But a person you should know that Cooking and Baking are too different things.

What did they do will all those pictures they made me take of them? They didn't even post the pictures of all three of us together. The only posted the pictures of themselves together..

The whole meeting made me feel really hollowed and unseened. I stopped buying everyone presents. I only get presents for the people that will show up for me.
