I'd have to say I'm calm and easygoing, I can be fun to be with in a quiet kind of way. My mind's creative and always working, always thinking of things to brighten someone's day. I like to be pampered but will never ask for favours, I'm still on the surface while longings deeply stir. I'm not high maintenance, you might even feel that I'm ok with being taken for granted ~ I'm tolerant but not a doormat. I don't get angry but I'm often disappointed, I don't ask for much and that's usually exactly what I get. Sometimes I wish I was different but through the years I've worked out kinks and this seems what works best.

The lines that reached me here were "I don't ask for much and that's usually what I get." ... Resonant... But -- there's always a 'but,' I guess -- but when you view everything in terms of how much you gave, then you realize just how much you got. ~ Trite, but True

I think we do have to work out who we are and improve only on that. Not compare to others only work on self. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
