Witnessing the cruelty in everyone she met, she urged to be different. Determined that she did not want to be like them, she became The Nicest Girl in the World.
So she started out accepting everyone, striving to be every one's friend. The line grew blurry when deciphering whether to shelter her friends from verbal harm, or to remain neutral and clean up later..
In any situation, the best situation is to be neutral: To not ever make your point clear, but to follow along, and hope that the result will be in your favor.
If one did make their point clear, they would hit a dead-end. No one can ever win, compromise -as fair as it may be- does not get anywhere, both sides are always disappointed.
She carried her indecisive, reserved nature into her relationships. The men took advantage. Reaching into her heart, and tugging on the strings like a marionette, they stole a piece. The older men treated her like a child, shunning her for her fewer years, and patronizing her with lies of "I am not like that."
Men are said to be less affectionate, less love abiding, less level-headed. Is this true? Do men really lack the love genes? Or are the women booming with bouncing hormones?
"I will be the old, single, cat-lady." Have we not all heard this? From the woman that has dated every man in New York City? Or the quiet, non-dating woman -that already has a few cat adorned sweaters? But how about The Nicest girl in the world, with the beautiful Italian smile, and gorgeous, fair nature?
Why would she ever be the old, single, cat-lady? Isn't her title enough to suit any charmer..

A thought on compromise. Is it not the union of two or more ideas to form a single idea that enhances them all. A good marriage has to have compromise, the balance of nature has to have it etc. if we sit back and wait all may be lost or nothing will change. If done in truth and honesty it will always work out. Just A thought.
On the "Nicest Girl", it's who we are not how we look or our age. Another thought.
Jon- My thoughts on compromise are my own, I understand the traditional respect of compromise, but where would the art be if I simple stated what you just did?
Look at things a different way..
Also, my comment on her "beautiful Italian smile" was not a comment on her beauty, but her happiness..
I see that you do not understand my art, but "it isn't for everyone."
Your posts make me think. I like it!
damn. i get so lost, in a good way! in your posts. so creatively written, both structurally and content-ly.
Relatable.
