Nice Girls Finish Last

When we were much, much younger, we were always taught that girls are sugar and spice and all things nice. We are to be seen, not to be heard. We are taught to behave ourselves, be nice and try to bear with anything and everything that comes our way, be it good or bad.

Now, in the new millennium, everything has changed with the stress on human rights and equality. Everyone has their own rights. Even babies and children have their rights. We just need the chance and courage to fight for our rights. We start to see phrases like "nice girls finish last" and "nice girls don't get the corner office' start to crop up on books and everywhere, encouraging us to fight for our rights and whatever we fancy.

What happen to offering your left cheek when you are being slapped on the right? So, should I, a person who shun conflicts, also fight for my rights and needs? Or should I give in to Providence and hope for the best when it comes to defending my rights? When all soft options like pleading and begging fail, should I proceed to be a bitch and fight for my rights? A good reason to have the last fight is that the fight is not even for my own benefits alone. I would say it will be for the benefits for almost everyone involved, save for one person. Should I give up the fight for this one person?

Since I really want to have the best arrangement for my family and myself, I have decided to open my golden mouth and try this last card on my hand. I pray that God will give me the courage and opportunity to face my adversity to lay out whatever is in my mind in the hope that things will turn my way. I hope that with this move, my family will be at ease for the rest of the year. After all, I am fighting for our rights to enjoy our lives to the fullest, right?

However, no matter what is the outcome, I am sure and glad that we will come out of this well and alive. No matter what happen, I am assured by DH's presence and love for me and our family. In the midst of things, we are assured of one thing. We will definitely emerge from this current issue stronger and more united as we know that...

LOVE CONQUERS ALL!
