humansofnewyork: “I’ve tried to invest my time and money into other people’s dreams

humansofnewyork:

“I’ve tried to invest my time and money into other people’s dreams.  I thought that helping others succeed would be an easy way to accomplish something without the pressure of doing it myself.  But I’ve been burned.  You’d expect people to be grateful if you’ve helped them.  But a lot of times they will avoid you.  People don’t like to be reminded that they owe their success to anyone.  Sometimes they’ll even find reasons to vilify you, if it helps to make the debt invalid.”

I feel you!
