Still saving the world...((Sigh))

My mom always has this saying... You can't save the world, Cherise. For as long as I can remember I have run to the rescue for everyone except myself. Sometimes we have to learn things the hard way. I know I did. I had to lose everything I had to realize that I was living in arears ( hope I spelled that right) . I worked my way back up and now I'm finally starting to reap the benefits. So why does it seem that as soon as I get some extra money I'm loaning it out and paying for other's people's mistakes. Would it be wrong for me to say no? Would I be selfish??? inconsiderate?? I don't know how to feel. I get angry when I see my friends go thru unnecessary shit. I know it's their fault... Like I know when I fuck up. We all have to learn our lessons. How do we learn when we are always bailed out? It all goes back to what my mom said today, "Cherise, you can't save the world".
