Trust me, Shannon...
Be prepared for the transparent attempts to ingratiate themselves with you once you're successful. I've had that constantly from family and people I thought were friends, and lots of girls that treated me like trash beforehand (likely hearing through friends of friends how I'm doing nowadays and try to fix what they screwed up long ago), and/or belittle me and demean and doubt me and my success and tell me I'd never make it. Well I did make it, and I haven't forgotten how I was treated by them. The revisionist thinking from them has amused me too. A few have actually had either the delusion or audacity to come up to me and try to say "Hey, just so you know, no hard feelings..." WHAT?! YOU were the ones acting like trash, how dare you try to take the high road with me when it was you causing all of this. Just irritated me even more that they refused to take any responsibility for why things are the way they are, subtly implying it was all my fault somehow, and their behaviour had nothing to do with causing it all.
Just be prepared for that, and don't forget is what I'm saying. Because I guarantee THEY will forget, and even revise history.
