#TestimonialTuesday I was upset about some money that this girl at my internship owed me. Backstory: the interns would go get tacos on our lunch breaks & it’s a cash only restaurant. So if some of us didn’t have cash on us we’d take care of each other & then pay them back (1/?)

#TestimonialTuesday (2/?) or at least that’s what I thought. My fellow intern had gotten her food paid for before by another intern and she paid her back immediately. BUT the next time I paid for her food and she DID NOT pay me back. (yes the other interns are...you guessed it)

#TestimonialTuesday (3/?) I told her it didn’t have to be in cash, it could be via cash app or zelle. She claimed she only had Venmo. In my opinion, if you owe somebody money you should be accommodating & go ahead & download whatever they have out of convenience. Well she didnthttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht">

#TestimonialTuesday (4/?) so now COVID hits & we don’t see each other for another 3 months. Now some of y’all would’ve just been direct and asked for the money back but I struggle with asking sometimes bc of the misperception of being called desperate or broke. Btw, it’s only $10

#TestimonialTuesday (5/?) anyone who knows me, knows it’s all about principle for me! Even if we weren’t in a pandemic and money was tight I’d still make a fuss about $10 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏾‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)"> anywho, now it’s July and the interns are back in person at our internship.

#TestimonialTuesday (6/?) I tried to make settle reminders that she still owed me $10 from almost 5 months ago but eventually I gave up and accepted my L. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😕" title="Verwirrtes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Verwirrtes Gesicht"> like Andell said “don’t give what you can’t afford to lose” or something like that lol

#TestimonialTuesday (7/?) so now her internship is over and she leaves. It’s just me & the other intern (who was properly paid back by ole girl the time before) anyways, throughout this internship I’ve given rides home to this other intern. Never expecting anything out of return.

#TestimonialTuesday (8/?) on her last day of internship she gives me a hand written card as a farewell. For old times sake I give her a ride home. Later on once I make it home, I open the card and $20 falls out! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Vor Angst schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Vor Angst schreiendes Gesicht"> I honestly was not expecting that at all! But I was so gratefulhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">

#TestimonialTuesday (9/?) it’s the little things for me! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face"> as soon as I accepted that I would’nt be getting my $10 back from ole girl, God blessed me with double from this other intern! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌🏾" title="Raising hands (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">

#TestimonialTuesday (10/10) To end this thread off w/ a BOOM! My mom FT me that night & told me a family friend was told by God to help me out financially. Mind you, I just lost my job & I’m about to move. Y’all, the check was for $1500 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> can’t nobody tell me GOD ain’t good! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏾" title="Folded hands (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">
