What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

I’m a kind person, almost to a fault. However, even with people I no longer like can I be kind. It takes talent to walk away with your head held high after you’ve encountered a toxic person.

I feel that my kindness serves me well, but don’t mistake it for weakness or that I’m a doormat. I also don’t take lightly to people that lie, cheat & steal. But that’s for another entry.

I look at my kindness as a soft weapon, by being kind most people at least where we live now don’t know what to do.

By greeting someone who’s hostile with kindness makes them look bad & sometimes they change how they feel about you.

But like I said it shouldn’t be taken as a sign of weakness or desperation because it’s neither.

Kindness is a gift that I learned much later than I’d like to. In my 20’s I was short with people & judgmental but I learned that judging people is something one can be Very wrong about.

I’d like to think that I’m more open minded & kinder than I was then & that by being my friend actually gives you perks. Because I’m in the city I live in, I don’t care about what people think in my neighborhood. Hey, they think some pretty petty stuff. But like I wrote before that’s for another entry. Maybe it should be titled “30 year olds that act like they’re in high school.” Cause they do. Pathetic. Really.
