I am a true Southern Belle; born and bred in the great state of Mississippi. I love this state and don't have any desire to leave it. We take life easy here; do our jobs well but know that it'll be there when we get there. I often wonder why people are always rushing to get somewhere and missing out on what they can see on the journey. I, like all true Southern Belles, enjoy peace and serenity, usually end up acting as a peacemaker and feel responsible for everyone around me. I like to know that everyone is enjoying themselves and are content with their surroundings. I know you can't please everyone but I like knowing that I did all I could do to make sure everyone in my life is happy and content. I'm not a martyr by any means but I truly get more out of giving than I do from receiving. It's a selfish desire on my part as my heart feels good when I'm making someone else happy. Not a feminist by any means, I don't guess :-) I think it's nice when a man holds a door for me or pulls out my chair. I don't look at it like he's treating me like I can't do it for myself. That's just a man showing respect for a woman in my opinion.
