Rich Girls

We all know them and we all want to love them.  They're the girls in the club that you know where they got their Louboutins and their huge Gucci/Chanel bag, it wasn't from their sugar daddy, it wasn't from their boyfriend it was from their rich mommy and daddy.

Let me get something straight here right now, like I said I grew up in a small town outside of Pittsburgh my father had the best job you could possibly have in our town he worked really hard and made very good money, enough so that my mom never had to work and my brother and I never had to want for anything, but making "great money" in Pittsburgh and "making great money in LA" are 2 totally different ball games. I never had anything crazy while growing up, we were members at our country club, both of my parent drove nice cars, our home was beautiful and my brother and I were always allowed to get what was trendy. (remember when pagers were cool, random thought) our family vacations where to the beach and we visited Europe twice all together.  My first car was a Cadillac Caterer, it was hunter green and two door with tan leather interior in my Italian family a Cadillac is the only way to go with a car my dad is obsessed with them, now that he's retired he actually collects them, but in long story short I grew up very humbled I had a lot of friends who where poor and were raised in trailers or on welfare, I was always taught not to choose my friends on what they have or what they can give you but what they have inside them and what you can give them.

In LA everyone wants to be "rich" and looked at in a certain way and grouped in a certain category, I fell into this with an old roommate of mine, Kelly.  We were obsessed with making everyone believe we came from these ridiculously rich families and that we had all the money in the world, in reality we both came from amazing, loving, giving families that just didn't see the need for us to spend $1,000.00 on one purse or a pair of shoes, nor the reason for the need to spend almost $5,000.00 on rent but in my and Kelly's mind we needed to impress everyone else.  We feel into a very dark time and were obsessed with competition, we lost ourselves and our souls in the process.  We were lying about taking trips, struggling to make our rent taking adderal to get ourselves out of bed we were at each others throats all the time.  We would back stab each other yet be so obsessed with one another and the image that we had created that we were inseparable, now that I look back I cant believe the person I was, I was so unhappy but had everything I thought I wanted, a beautiful apt in the most admired building in Hollywood, access and invited to everything! and I mean EVERYTHING! we were hanging out with the "cool rich kids" throwing crazy after parties at our apt we were on top but inside felt like a black pit.  Kelly and I finally had a falling out and moved out of our apt and  stopped living together, since we have both grown into better people and I at least have realized whats important.

Now, these little rich girls out here make me so sad they are so unhappy all the diamonds on their wrists and louie bags hanging from their arms are NOT going to make you happy, they are SO concerned about spending money and having the most expensive things to impress who? These dummies think people will like them more? well anyone who likes you more for what you wear is DEF not someone I want in my life, Ive been very close to a lot of these "rich girls" and let me tell you most of them are INSANE! they steal each others boyfriends, talk shit about one another, and constantly compete, their  families usually don't care much about them and most were raised by nannies, they have no concept of compassion and are the most jealous and insecure people I have ever met.  At the end of the day no one is going to fall in love with you because you  have 80,000.00 dollars worth of louboutins or because your daddy is rich these girls are mean, ruthless and usually don't have much of a personality, no after high school education, they have no real life experiences and bond with others over gossip and shit talking.  Don't get me wrong, I have met a few that come from good families and that have been raised right but in most cases they are COMPLETE messes especially when it comes to relationships.  Most have been so used to buying and having whatever they want that when a guy doesn't want them or breaks up with them they go insane, I mean we all go crazy when we go through a break-up but these girls are crushed, their world is so small and unmeaningful filled with only shopping, nails and dinner that this consumes them and they really don't have any real friends to fall back on because the girls they "call their friends" are smirking behind their back at their unhappiness.

We all like and want nice things and strive to be able to look and feel good, but don't give the devil your soul for a pair of red bottoms, trust me it's not worth it and you wont be able to keep up the gimmick you'll get tired of pretending you can do the things your rich friends can, and go broke and upset your parents trying, trust me, i've been through it, and if they dont want to be your friend for you, then you don't need them anyways, the only thing you need to keep up to date and in style is your awesome personality, your good heart, warm genuine smile your individuality and your morals, something no one can buy nor take away from you.
