Growing Up

Many times I wish that I'm not so emotionally tied up with all the people around me. I wish that I'm more thick skinned, like my hubby who let comments slide like water off a duck's back. I wish I am not so easily affected by the people around me, because the fact is, if you are in a bad mood and if I get near you, I'd get upset too, whether you say anything to me or not!

Like a dog, I'm also eager to please and many times, I do it in the expense of my own time and convenience. Sometimes, in my eagerness, I make mistakes and in the end, land me in trouble instead.

But I think I'm learning. It's taking a long time but after getting hurt many times, I've learnt that sometimes, being nice doesn't pay. And, some people, will never appreciate what I have done.
