Lending Turns to Ghosting

 

Lending Turns to Ghosting - A Gentle Reminder for the Heart and Wallet

We’ve all had that moment—someone close asks to borrow money. They say it’s “just for now,” and because you trust them, you say yes. Then suddenly… radio silence.

No follow-up. No updates. Not even a “Sorry, still working on it.” Just ghosted.

And it’s not just the money that hurts—it’s the feeling of being taken for granted.

But here’s the thing: holding onto that frustration won’t bring the money back. It just drains your peace. Sometimes, you have to accept it, let it go, and move forward. Forgiving doesn’t mean you’re okay with it—it means you’re choosing peace over resentment. After all, you were an instrument of blessing on someone’s tough day… haha, di ba?

Sa mga nang-utang: Communication is everything. Kahit wala pa pambayad, magparamdam. A simple message shows respect. Huwag puro seenzone—your dignity is worth more than the money you ghosted on.

Sa mga nagpautang: Lend only what you’re willing to let go. Set boundaries. Guard your heart and your wallet. And no matter what—choose to forgive.

Money comes and goes. But trust? That’s harder to earn back. Be kind, but don’t be careless.

Learn. Forgive. Grow.
