Money

Topic : Money

In this current generation, many have ranked money as the top three most indispensable thing in their lives. Some yearn for money to take care of their family well-beings, while some purely just want money to satisfy their needs and enjoyments. Many have said that money can make someone happy. One can be happy by being able to fly to different continents in the world, while others can be happy by being able to purchase good food or better lodging. However, money can never buy you friendship. 

I was one of the top 10 most eligible woman in my country due to my wealth and intelligence. Many flocked to me for the sake of being on the higher class society. Everyone was filled with pure jealousy towards me, some even claimed that I did not deserve all that I had. Being the girl I was, people that approached me always had ulterior motives instead of really wanting to befriend me. I was overwhelmed by the loneliness that engulfed me. 

At times when I wanted to distress, I had this habit of self harming myself. Feeling the cold metal blade against my soft fragile skin, slowly cutting into the veins and layers of tissues was one of the best feelings I felt. As the blood slowly trickled down my wrist, attempting to form a pool of blood on the white marble floor of my bedroom, I winced, but not purely from the pain, but the cold hard fact that I was alone. As tears started forming in my eyes, threatening to spill out, I muffled my cries as I grabbed a bunch of dollar bills and started wiping away my abused wrist. I wanted to run away from this materialistic world, away from the root of all evil, money. 

In life, people should appreciate what they already have. Friendship, family, and freedom. I had none of them, all I had was money. My family died in a fatal car crash, causing me to inherit their sole fortune. I had no freedom, with the paparazzi at the edge of my nose every single moment, not to mention, having no true friends. If I had a choice, I would choose any of those three and abandon money any time I could. When people claim that money is the root of all evil, they were wrong. Money was the root of my loneliness, which will haunt me till the day I die.
