Just Not A Nice Girl

My friend told me "I'm a good daughter". My older friends in their 40-50's with kids have expressed similar sentiments, wanting a daughter like me or as a role model. I agree that I am a good daughter. I choose to be a good daughter because family is so important to me.

But, I'm not a nice girl.

I find people often associate "being a good daughter" with "being a nice girl".

I have dreams and people important to me. I will fight for those dreams and protect all those important to me. Often times this leads to actions that do not make me a nice girl, LoL.

I don't live to please people. I live to make my dreams come true, including loving and caring for those important to me.

Life has never been fair to me, so I don't expect it ever to be. Equal opportunity is important, but true fairness is elusive and impossible for humans to judge.

I'd rather have an important person hate me for being myself than love me for the illusion that I may have cast. But there's reasons they became important to me so I'll still continue to care.
