Ashleigh
Just because I've had a few bad experiences with men, does not mean all men are evil, vile, and nasty. I was the one who chose to be in those relationships, I will not assign blame to men in general, nor do I care to dwell on those experiences. Things that happened years ago do not affect my life today.
Just because I have a boyfriend does not make him "My Man." I do not own him, nor do I want to. No one can "steal" him from me because he is not my property. If I want something to put a collar and leash on, I will get a dog. He is not a child; I will not spend my time picking up after a grown man. My time is valuable, and I won't waste it playing mother to someone who already has a perfectly good one.
I can appreciate the beauty of other women. Just because a woman is more attractive than me does not make her a whore or a slut. There are many beautiful women who are also intelligent, and many beautiful women who are not. I will not surround myself with vacuous beautiful people to make myself appear popular. If a person is interesting, thoughtful, and kind, I do not care what they look like. They are my friends, not trophies I keep around so people will know my worth.
I will be supportive of a friend. I can give advice and offer sympathy if the situation needs, but I will not help someone wallow in pity.
I will not tease men who find me attractive. I am not afraid to tell a man I am not interested. Stringing along someone I have no feelings for is cruel and petty. I am in a relationship and I have no desire to hurt my partner. If I cannot show respect or be trustworthy I do not deserve to have the same respect and trust shown and to me.
I do not use pathetic mind games to get what I want. If I cannot ask for something, I do not deserve to get it. I am smart and determined enough to work for something I want.
I am not afraid to voice my opinion, however unpopular it may be. I will not keep silent to try and look more attractive. If someone wants to be my friend, they must deal with all of me, opinions and all.
I work for my own money, and I work hard. I will not sit back and let my co-workers steal work from me, or dump their work on me when it is convenient. I've had to deal with lazy, backstabbing co-workers before; I will have to deal with it again. I refuse to do work that is not mine. If you slack off I will not cover for you. I should not have to work extra hard to make up for your laziness, so I don't.
I will not conform to the standards of "ideal beauty" that society preaches. My worth is not measured by my face.
I can hold my own in any argument. If I am right, I will not back down to make peace. If I am wrong, I will apologize, but I will never silence myself for fear of what people may think.
