Social Butterfly?
A friend said a very nice thing about me last night when I was talking to him. I was telling him about a certain situation and how someone didn’t view me as exactly ladylike, to which he responded that wasn’t true. I don’t remember the exact words but…
“You’re everything. You’re ladylike when you need to be. Just because you can hang with the boys doesn’t mean you’re -not- ladylike and you can hang with the best of em’!”
He went on to tell me that I’m one of the few people (if not only friend) that knows more of his friends than anyone else. That sounds somewhat confusing so I’ll put it this way. He’s of the opinion I fit in with so many crowds that it’s never an issue to introduce me to any of his friends. That even if it’s not exactly the type of crowd I prefer to hang with, I’ll make the best of it, have fun, and get along wonderfully with people. So he’s introduced me to his various groups of friends far so more than he’s ever done with anyone else. I’ve breached many circles. :p
It felt really good to be told that I have good qualities that allow me to relate to a lot of people. Sure, I’m rough around the edges and I admit that and accept that. Some things I do want to change but my head isn’t in the right place at the moment. Some things I know I’ll grow out of and others I wouldn’t change for the world.
So instead of me focusing on what I’m not, I figure it’s okay to be me. Niki-like. Nothing more, nothing less, and all good. :)
