To all of you who face the constant struggle of being let down by others, this goes out to you
Raise your hand if you know or have known someone who agreed to meet you at a restaurant, you turn up early or on time and they are nowhere to be seen. You wait around, maybe order a drink or two, spark up small talk with one of the punters... all for nought.
Personally, I have seen this and similar situations far too many times, especially in my younger years. Still learning on a daily basis, it is important to suss out just who values your time and who devalues their own. There is a reason why the phrase is "Spending Time", it is simply because you must perceive your time as a currency which you pay out for each second, minute, hour and so forth.
When you went to that eatery, and waited around for untold time, you spent a portion of your reserve.
This particular reserve does not replenish however...
And what about the time it took you to travel to the pub?
The cost involved in travelling?
The money spent on drinking alone?
How it made you feel to be disappointed?
These are all considerations to be made when it comes to your most precious and rare commodity. Never waste time, never be the person who responds to the message "What you up to?" with "Nothing, just chilling", because, unless you have met most if not all of your life's ambitions, should you really be chilling? If I ask you what you're doing and you say you're chilling, I'm going to make a wild guess and say you won the lottery mate.
