Does being too nice have its disadvantages?

In life you often make mistakes. The best thing about those mistakes is that you learn from them. So growing as a woman I have made my own relationship mistakes and as I get older I learn how to be a better woman in the relationship. I am completely different than I was ten years ago. And yes, one may say ten years ago I was just a teenager, but people often are who they are at that point and change very little.

Today I would like to think as myself as kind, patient, and giving. I tend to put my partners needs and concerns far beyond mind, and often not even thing of myself until last. There are times when I feel guilty even making a selfish choice. I ask myself now how does this help me? I guess it really only helps if that partner does exactly the same back making you feel worth their time. Yet we all have other personal issues such as work and other conflicts. But how long do you let that excuse for the reason you are not truly the number one person in their life go on? I have rough days, bad days, good days, exhausting days, and nights of missed sleep – but I never use that as an excuse for that other person. I sacrifice because time is short and this person means the absolute world to me.

Women are so different than men. We are nurturing. Men are not. We are emotional beings who thrive off knowing they are making others happy. But at what point to women spend so much time trying to make others happy when they forget how to make their own self happy?

Life and relationships are always so puzzling.

Yesterday I deleted my Facebook account. As small as this may seem, it was quite a big step in my small world. I simply do not care about where everyone is, who they are with, and their relationship status. I have my own life, my own set of problems. Is it really important for me to know what my kindergarten friend had for breakfast, and not to mention if I had to hear of another friend getting married I was going to propose to myself.

This may sound kind of ironic since I enjoy social online media, but this was a personal choice. It is the best choice for my life right now, my career, and my relationships with others. Facebook is a playground for adults that allow them to act like children. Life is to short = )
