15 Reasons Wearing Your Heart On Your Sleeve Is A Good Thing

People often believe wearing your heart on your sleeve is bad. They think it means you're too emotional. Well, how would you feel if I said that by wearing your heart on your sleeve, you're part of the rare population of that expresses qualities people are actually looking for?

1. You're a GREAT flirt!

You know you catch feelings easily, but at least you know that they're genuine! Nobody likes when you can talk the talk but not walk the walk.

2. You're not afraid to take a risk.

Yes, there is a 50-50 chance that you might get rejected or accepted, but you are fully aware of this and you choose to take the chance; on the upside, you might enjoy the benefits.

3. You aren't afraid to say or do what you want!

Aware of the various outcomes of the dating game, you can be yourself and just say exactly what you want. For instance, saying "let's get out of here" is not a question; it's a statement. A confident one at that. It will leave any guy dying for more.

4. There's always hope.

No matter how many bad dates you've gone on, you keep trying. There's gotta be a guy to sweep you off your feet out there somewhere!

5. You try but not too hard.

There is a fine line between trying and trying too hard. This is a line girls who wear their heart on their sleeves are accused of crossing, but the truth is, we don't cross it too often. You have a sense of satisfaction that you tried your best and that is good enough.

6. You know exactly what you want.

There is a long list of qualities you enjoy, and when you meet someone who expresses those, you're not afraid to go after them.

7. Puppy love is a need!

We lovethis feeling! It is so fun and effortless. It's just you and your S.O. against the world!

8. You love with every ounce of your heart.

There is nothing mediocre about this. If they love you, it will be in full force or not at all.

9. You learn how to love early on.

Most people need a few shots at love to truly understand its meaning and how it all works. For people like this, it comes naturally.

10. You're selfless.

There is nothing wrong with loving someone so much that you are willing to look past a few minor things just to see the good in them.

11. You are patient.

You understand there are things you will have to put up with for the person you love and you're not going to throw an entire relationship away due to those little things.

12. You don't hate your ex.

When the time comes to end a relationship, you accept the fact they will be in your heart forever. Instead of being bitter and looking for things to hate on them for, you can look back with a smile and wish them the best.

13. You don't worry about the details.

You are looking for the adventure in the relationship whether it's just flirting or casual dating.

14. You always see the good in people.

Personally, I always see the good in someone rather than the bad, and that is how I evaluate them. Although not everyone is worth your time, you will know if they aren't the right one for you.

15. You will have fewer "what ifs."

Nobody likes to look back and think "what if." But because you take the initiative of doing what you want, that is not the case for you.

People who wear their hearts on their sleeves are a dying breed. Society forces us to think that we should be guarded and hide how we feel when, in fact, some are more interested in a confident person who knows what they want. Don't be afraid to show your heart off, gorgeous!

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
