And just like that, we're back 3 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: on the air. Welcome back to you. Another jest fixed 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: my mess segment with Carefully Reckless. Hey you girl, Jess hilarious. Listen, 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna jump right in. We got some voice memos. 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: I like it. Keep it coming, y'all. It just so, 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: this is gonna be kind of long, but I'm gonna 8 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: try to sum it up as quick as I can. 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: I know you always speak about relationship ship, but I'm 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: coming to you for advice strictly for getting over a 11 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: friendship or multiple friendships that you know, you know, you 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: grew apart from, or you just don't see eye to 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: eye anymore. So long story short, I moved to a 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: different city when I was in about fifth grade. In 15 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: fifth grade, I met one of my best friends who 16 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I would eventually be friends until 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: I die with, And then in sixth grade met another one. 18 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: In in seventh grade, we all was a trio because 19 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: they had already knew each other previously. I just never 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: knew that they knew each other. So we made it 21 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: strong through middle school and even through half of high 22 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: school now, and in high school, I ended up getting 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: pregnant and I was pulled from public school and I 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: was placed into private school or online private school. So 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: I wasn't there for them as much as I was 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: supposed to be or I could have been. But just 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: give you a little background, I'm the friend out of 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: the group who don't play no ship. I will smack 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: a bit about them first and ask questions later, so 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: that played a big part. I was like the outspoken 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: person out of the group. I was the one who 32 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: took up for the entire group, not saying that their 33 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: soft or anything, but I was just that ongo type 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: of bitch. Now with me being going, I couldn't be 35 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: there for them as much as I would have liked to, 36 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: like I stated already, but one of them, so the 37 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: one I met first, she ended up getting the second 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: one in to some ship, so she ended up getting 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: her into some drama with some other girls, and the 40 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: other girls jumped her while she was there, and she 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: didn't do nothing when this is her beef to begin with. 42 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: You were supposed to do something, not just stand there. 43 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: So we instantly stopped being friends with her, and I 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: just started being friends with another one the other one. Eventually, 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: instead of just me being her friend, she felt so 46 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: desperate that she had to go be friends with somebody 47 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: we didn't already beat up, and we weren't friends with 48 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: at first, and so she just started to be really 49 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: distant towards me kind of. And then it's like, I'm 50 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: raised into a household where I'm not close to my 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, so I really rely on friendships to 52 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: get me by, to get me out of this lonely 53 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: place in my life. And she just started to be 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: like really really fake towards me. And at this point, 55 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't turn back onto the other friend like I 56 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: wanted to, and I instantly started regretting not being her friend, 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: because honestly, with me not even going to the school 58 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: or being a part of this beef, I shouldn't have 59 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: took anybody's side. Now that I'm older, this happened years ago, 60 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: twenty one. Now, this happened when I was maybe seventeen. 61 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: Now that I'm you know, learned a lot. I felt 62 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: like that was in my place to just decide on 63 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: what was right and what was wrong and what I 64 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: had to do, because it really had nothing to do 65 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: with me. So I ended up being homeless at eighteen, 66 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: and I was supposed to go live with the friend 67 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: that I was still friends with, and she literally left 68 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: me and my son outside because the girl that I 69 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: wasn't cool with she was in the house at the moment. 70 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: So it's just like, just to sum it up, it's 71 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: just a lot of ship, that shady ship that started 72 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: to happen, and I already broke up with the first girl, 73 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: and then the second girl was weird, so I eventually 74 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: broke up with her. And now that we're grown, I'm 75 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: looking at their lives and they're still doing the same thing. 76 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: They're still fighting, they're still in drama, they're still pulling 77 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: up to bitch's house jumping them and a mama and 78 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: I have two kids now. I have a five year 79 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: old and I have a temo throld baby, and I'm 80 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: just at the point in my life where I know 81 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: that I cannot be their friends anymore based on where 82 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: my life is going. I'm starting a business, I'm saving 83 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: up my money to move out of state because I 84 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: hate Michigan so much. But I'm on a different level 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: than them, and I know that we can never be friends. 86 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: But I hate the feeling of just not being their friends, 87 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: and I just don't know how to get over it. 88 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: Like I really truly missed them, even though I know 89 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: we could never be how we was. I often find 90 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: myself on their Facebook pages looking at what they've been doing, 91 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: looking at how they've been growing. One of them had 92 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: a baby, and like she's still on the same ship. 93 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: So I'm just coming to you to see, like, if 94 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: you can give me any advice on how to move 95 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: on from these friendships, I would gladly appreciate it, just 96 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: because it's just a hard part of my life that 97 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get over. Like I don't find myself 98 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: crying over it or anything, but it's so hard to 99 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: not dwell on the past when those were like my 100 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: sisters that I didn't grow up with. Well, actually I 101 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: did grow up with them because I was friends with 102 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: them for so many years, but you know, they weren't 103 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: biologically my sisters. But it's just so hard not to 104 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: miss them or not to think about them, and I 105 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: just want some type of advice. I haven't reached out 106 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: to neither of them, and I really don't think they 107 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: would want to hear from me. Just because of how 108 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: I left them hanking. Okay, see your story stops there. Okay, 109 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: well listen, it's okay girl. Look, you don't have to 110 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: not be their friends. You don't have to. You don't 111 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: have to hang out with them all the time either. 112 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. You love these girls, and 113 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: these girls love you. I don't care what y'all been through. Listen. 114 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: You told me something that y'all went through when y'all 115 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: were seventeen years old. You're twenty one. That was four 116 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: years ago. No, not too long. But you grow every year. 117 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: You have two children. Now, you know what you want 118 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: to do with your life. You want to move out 119 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: of state. You're starting your own business. All good, you're 120 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: taking care of your children. By the way, I hear 121 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: your baby in the back cock baby. But you know 122 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

She hit herself up. You know, you 177 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: might prompt them to want to know more about what 178 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: you're doing, and then when they see what you're doing, 179 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: they might want to do the same.

It's fine. 190 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: What you have to do is not let them bring 191 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: you down. You can't let them rub off on you. 192 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: And you seem pretty headstrong where you ain't gonna let 193 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: that happen. You seem that way. You live by yourself. 194 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: You got your own plate. You know. You could be 195 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: motivation for them. Obviously, they ain't thinking outside of Michigan. 196 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: You are. It ain't your job to take them with you, 197 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: but ship passed on what you're doing. Just put that 198 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: ship in there.

So look, I've helped this girl three different times, 227 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: and at this point, this is my client. This is 228 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: a regular and she's my client, and we have monthly sessions, 229 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: so there with her. Just at this point, I consider 230 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: you my home girl from a distance. But basically I 231 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: just wanted to update you on the last situation. I'm 232 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: really just feeling some tea at this point. But basically 233 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: the last situation I was with, I was talking to 234 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,119 Speaker 1: this guy that I worked with. He pretty much seemed interested. 235 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: You know, he had my number. We texted during work, 236 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: and you know, he seemed like he wanted to go 237 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: further because he said that he wanted to text me, 238 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: but he ended up never texted me. Um, And this 239 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: was like, are on the weekend, So I assumed that 240 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: he may have another woman in his life, but like 241 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: you said, communication is key and I didn't want to assume, 242 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: so I asked him once I saw him at work 243 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: a few days back, this man's told me that it 244 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: was not another woman, mind you. A few days go 245 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: by and we ended up coming across each other again 246 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: at work. He's flirting with me. You know, we're talking 247 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: and I'm like joking, saying, like, you know you're doing 248 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: all this flirting, but you can't even text me outside 249 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: of work, or you know, call me or anything. Why 250 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: This man said, uh, you know, it's hard to do 251 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: that when I have a living in my mind, I'm 252 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: like a living. But I asked him, I'm like, what 253 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: is a living? He said, I still live with my 254 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: child's mother. Your child's mother living with her. Excuse me, 255 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: is what I said in my mind? Mind you. So 256 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: he goes on to explain, of course, that they no 257 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: longer get along, she's always arguing with him, that he 258 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: wants to just like separate from her. YadA YadA, YadA. 259 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,479 Speaker 1: I'm taking this all in. I'm not giving no expression, 260 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:28,359 Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything back anything. I'm just like I'm okay, okay, yeah, okay. 261 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: And he just goes on and on and like, saying 262 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: that they've been together for twenty years and he doesn't 263 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: want to leave because of the child, just digging himself 264 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: in the deepest hole ever.
