I always try to get friends some food when they come, lend a bit of cash, etc.
Now some of you think I'm too pvssy and submissive, but I'm anything but that. I'm never afraid to speak my mind or be persuasive when I really need to be. Life could be short and rather than doing nothing for anyone, I choose to help (if needed), even if they r ungrateful (to a certain degree). Being selfish would turn me inside out and I wouldn't stop thinking about how fake I am.

If you're really selfless you'd paypal $50 bucks of real money!

just kidding.. just kidding

If you were really in need and my friend I'd loan it to u, but you have to pay back :) I'm obviously not that kind of selfless, because that would be impossible :p
