I stayed silent for a long time, but I think it's time to speak up.
One of the biggest mistakes I made was choosing the wrong people to become my business partners. Before, they begged me to let them join my café, and because I trusted them, I gave them that chance. I believed we all had the same goal—to grow the business and build a good reputation.
Instead, they turned the café into something it was never meant to be. They were selling illegal drugs, using w**d from the moment they woke up, and inviting friends who were involved in the same lifestyle. I repeatedly told them that what they were doing was wrong and that they needed to stop. Every time I spoke up, they got angry with me and treated me like I was the problem.
When the café closed, I chose not to say anything publicly because I didn't want to create more drama. But now they're blaming me for everything that happened. They're even making jokes about me, calling me a "feeling café owner," as if I was pretending to care. The truth is, I cared because I wanted the café to succeed. I wanted us to grow and build something we could be proud of.
It's heartbreaking to see the people I trusted the most now acting like they're the victims while blaming me for the consequences of their own actions.
Now, all I need to do is move on and start a new chapter of my life without the wrong people surrounding me. Everything happens for a reason, and I believe God will handle everything in His perfect time. 🙏🏻 I know the truth, and the people who truly know what happened know it too.
