Why It's OK To Be High Maintenance

We all have pet peeves, and higher expectations than the norm, but that is okay.

Why It's OK To Be High Maintenance
Lady One

We are clean, organized and needy. We may feel the need to be very hygienic and put together every day. We can’t stand when there are messes around the house, or in small places. When we need something, we will usually get it ourselves, or ask someone to do it or get it for us. Things must go our way and only our way. Remember, women are always right, just leave it at that. We have a high pride in the way our appearance looks. We can be difficult or challenging to handle. We all have pet peeves, and higher expectations than the norm, and that is okay. We do not have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it is just the humans we are. You can’t tell me that we are the only people in the world like this, because men can be this way too. Either way, we don’t care, we know we are high maintenance. Being the way we are, can result in being responsible, and honest. We don’t carry around our opinions, we let loose.

High maintenance women are difficult, but we have goals. We are the kind of women who keep ourselves active every day. Whether that be running errands, or getting up to shower, we continuously have something to do repetitively. We aren’t boring, we are exciting and energetic. We can be very sweet and social, but if you piss us off, that’s your fault. It is still okay to be high maintenance.

It is OK, we have dreams. We have things we go for and we won’t stop until we do it. It just means we are more likely to do your laundry and plan the day than sit around and wait for nothing. We are the type of women who like the attention and affection. If we are speaking to you, make eye contact, or you will have one unhappy lady. If we are sad, comfort us, we don’t like to be ignored. Showing that you care about how we feel makes us all feel better. If it’s our birthday, we are the type to make that day one hundred percent about us, and only us. Did I mention high maintenance women are also selfish at times? Not all the time, but sometimes. Money isn’t an importance to us, living life in an organized, and healthy way is what gets our attention. Money is still nice here and there, so men, do not get any ideas. Overall high maintenance women are successful and smart. We know how to be sneaky, and be serious too.

It’s OK because it is our personality. High maintenance, teaches us to care about ourselves and our lives. It teaches us that we have a future ahead to be ready to take on. We have men or children that we might have to care for one day. It teaches us the meaning of striving for your goals, and not stopping. It tells us women that we are made of gold. We can be anyone we want. We are needy, but that is okay. We are organized, but that is okay. We are honest and blunt, but that is okay. Women have to express themselves which makes us feminine.

So, the next time you meet a high maintenance women, tell her thank you. Thank you for being the woman that has goals, responsibilities, and dreams. Although, tell her thank you, thank you for being clean, cause you will have a nice house one day. Tell her thank you for being put together too, because who doesn’t want to look good when they go out in public? Overall, tell her thank you for being a woman, because if it wasn’t for her expectations, your laundry might not be done next week.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
