Louder Is Not Always Better.

The quiet girl.
Too shy.
Snotty.
Stuck up.
I've been labeled many things due to my quiet nature, particularly negative, and it all used to bother me. But, once you reach a certain age, you come to realize that quiet is typically better than loud any day.

People may mistake you're gentleness and quietness for being a complete snob, but is it not better to have them guess at who you are rather than you be completely loud and them know?


I would rather be labeled a snobby girl than a loud mouthed gigglish girl on any given day of the week.


I could never tell you how many times I have had adult women say, "Talk! Open up! You never speak...you're too quiet." I do not suppose that any of these women have instead thought that perhaps maybe they should be a little more quiet themselves and think more than speak.

You can never go wrong when you spend the majority of your day swimming in thought rather than exercising your tongue.

I have come to a point in my life that if I think I am fixing to bring up another human being's life that really has nothing to do with me, I tell myself to shut up and mind my own business.

I do not want to hear, "Have you heard about..." "OMG...did you know him and her...?"
No, I have not heard, and I am quite sure the person you are about to slander would not like me to know as well.

Think first, then speak.
Think:
Will this hurt someone?
Does this situation have anything to do with my life what so ever?
Will me relaying this information to anyone else better the situation or uplift another individual?

It's really easy.  Just shut up.
If you can not find another topic to discuss with your friends other than other people and their problems, perhaps you should surround yourself with people of more intelligence.

I may not run up to you and gab to you about my entire life when I see you.
I may not hug all over you and make a scene to show everyone that I have arrived.
You may never have a long and meaningful conversation with me...ever.

I purposefully choose who I expose myself to.

If I am so quiet around you, maybe it's not me after all friend.
Perhaps I think you are a loud individual who talks so much about others to me, that it would be of no surprise if my own business was retold to me next week by a complete stranger because you can't lock your lips up.

I do not speak unless I have something to say.
I choose my words and I never speak without purpose.
Even in an insult, I mean to say it exactly when I say it.

My friends are people who have better things to talk about rather than discussing other people's short comings.

So, if we don't talk...
there's your sign.
So call me a snob, call me too quiet, tell everyone else that my nose is always stuck too high in the air to lower it to your level...

I'll never tell you otherwise, because I'll probably never tell you much of anything...
