Burden of Being "Nice"

Nice. I hate that word. I really do. Because once you've been labeled as "nice", you can never look back. You can't undo what's already done. Once someone, anyone, declares you as "nice", you can never NOT be nice. You have to put on your bright smiley face day in, day out (even though what you'd really like to do is wring the necks of the multiple people who've crossed you). Nobody in particular, of course. "Nice" people never get a breaks. Never. Not. One. Single day. Ever. Should you have an off-day, people whisper (loud enough for you to hear) and say: What bug crawled up your rear? What's the matter with you? So to all the "nice" people out there, today is your day. Scream. Shout. Do what you have to. Just know it's okay to be nice. But only when you want to.
