All groups of friends are the same. They all have the bitchy friend, the loud friend, the mean friend and the nice friend. Of course, there are different variations. For example, there could be the shy friend or the loud friend is actually really sweet or really rude, but for the most part we are all the same, yet different. And one thing is for sure, you can ask anyone, there is always a friend who is considered the "nice" friend.
From the outside, most people think very highly of the nice friend. She is the one that everyone seems to like and the one who appears to have it all together and love everyone. Seems pretty awesome, doesn't it? Being the "nice" friend must really be great, right? Wrong. Being the nice friend is not all it is cracked up to be.
I am tired of being the "nice" friend. I am the one who keeps the peace. I am the one who everyone goes to for advice. I am the one who people can rely on and from the bottom of my heart I LOVE that. However, with that being said, I am the one that people seem to take advantage of. I have learned that most people do not take advantage of me intentionally. However, it still happens. And before everyone has a cow: no, not everyone does this but it still happens, and to be honest I am sick of it.
I am sick of my kindness being mistaken for weakness. I am so done with people thinking that they can walk all over me because they assume that I am too nice to stick up for myself and speak my mind. I have been used and treated like crap and I am not going to put up with this anymore.
I love being kind. It is who I am. I have tried my very best to live the life that God has planned for me. I feel compelled to help others and spread love throughout this world that seems to be filled with such hate. I am just done being the nice friend.
I will fight for what is right. I will treat others with respect and I will always always always be the best possible friend and person that I can be.
But there is more to me than just how nice friend. I will be the bitchy friend, I will be the crazy friend, I will be the loud friend, I will be the funny friend, I will be the nice friend, but most importantly, I will be me. And I am done being treated poorly because people see me as the "nice" friend.
