Why It's OK To Be High Maintenance

We all have pet peeves, and higher expectations than the norm, but that is okay.

Why It's OK To Be High Maintenance
Lady One

We are clean, organized and needy. We may feel the need to be very hygienic and put together every day. We can’t stand when there are messes around the house, or in small places. When we need something, we will usually get it ourselves, or ask someone to do it or get it for us. Things must go our way and only our way. Remember, women are always right, just leave it at that. We have a high pride in the way our appearance looks. We can be difficult or challenging to handle. We all have pet peeves, and higher expectations than the norm, and that is okay. We do not have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it is just the humans we are. You can’t tell me that we are the only people in the world like this, because men can be this way too. Either way, we don’t care, we know we are high maintenance. Being the way we are, can result in being responsible, and honest. We don’t carry around our opinions, we let loose.

High maintenance women are difficult, but we have goals. We are the kind of women who keep ourselves active every day. Whether that be running errands, or getting up to shower, we continuously have something to do repetitively. We aren’t boring, we are exciting and energetic. We can be very sweet and social, but if you piss us off, that’s your fault. It is still okay to be high maintenance.

It is OK, we have dreams. We have things we go for and we won’t stop until we do it. It just means we are more likely to do your laundry and plan the day than sit around and wait for nothing. We are the type of women who like the attention and affection. If we are speaking to you, make eye contact, or you will have one unhappy lady. If we are sad, comfort us, we don’t like to be ignored. Showing that you care about how we feel makes us all feel better. If it’s our birthday, we are the type to make that day one hundred percent about us, and only us. Did I mention high maintenance women are also selfish at times? Not all the time, but sometimes. Money isn’t an importance to us, living life in an organized, and healthy way is what gets our attention. Money is still nice here and there, so men, do not get any ideas. Overall high maintenance women are successful and smart. We know how to be sneaky, and be serious too.

It’s OK because it is our personality. High maintenance, teaches us to care about ourselves and our lives. It teaches us that we have a future ahead to be ready to take on. We have men or children that we might have to care for one day. It teaches us the meaning of striving for your goals, and not stopping. It tells us women that we are made of gold. We can be anyone we want. We are needy, but that is okay. We are organized, but that is okay. We are honest and blunt, but that is okay. Women have to express themselves which makes us feminine.

So, the next time you meet a high maintenance women, tell her thank you. Thank you for being the woman that has goals, responsibilities, and dreams. Although, tell her thank you, thank you for being clean, cause you will have a nice house one day. Tell her thank you for being put together too, because who doesn’t want to look good when they go out in public? Overall, tell her thank you for being a woman, because if it wasn’t for her expectations, your laundry might not be done next week.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
