no more mr. nice guy...

there's a difference between being nice and helping people. i like helping people. call me self-centered, but it makes me feel good about myself knowing i potentially brightened up someone's day. hence, why i try to say hi and smile as much as i can because a smile can go a long way. however, im tired of being nice, and getting run over. do i look that easy to be taken advantage of? and i don't mean sexually. sigh. i love to help. i really even like to be nice, but so long are the days of being, "oh tina? yeah, she's really nice." i'm going back to high school, call me childish or not, but i had fun being mean. even if it seemed to be judgmental, i knew who my real friends were at the time, and my friends don't judge me as people do. so for those that missed the old tina, say hello to her again.
