Being a sweet, kind, and gentle person can have a downside in that so many see you as a doormat, as a pushover. That is utter nonsense because I am a kind, gentle soul and I just so happen to have a backbone and I won’t just take anyone’s crap. Being one does not automatically negate the other. Being strong does not mean having to be hard, or mean, or unkind just like being kind, gentle and loving doesn’t mean having to be weak, lame, or milk-toast. Just be you, do you and know that you don’t have to take anybody’s crap, ever.
