Naive Nancy

She has the common exuberance of a kid, she is friendly, flighty, childish and gullible. She seems to want to know everything yet she lacks knowledge and wisdom.

She delights in talking and gisting with others. She doesn’t care if she is revealing or divulging too much information. All she cares about is feeling better, getting better and being happy.

Her emotions are clearly written on her face and her expressions don’t lie. She believes everything is straightforward , black and white, no hidden agendas, no bigger picture story. What you see is what you get tale. She believes if she puts, gets angry, flares up , threatens, or cries he will change. Worse still she believes if she falls sick and is on the verge of death he will change. She believes pretence isn’t dangerous and she can manage it.

She likes when things go her way, she always wants to win. She believes in the little, shallow knowledge she has and makes a big deal out of it. Forgetting that there will always be other people better than you are wherever you go. Nancy trusts the wrong people too much. Nancy can't stand being hurt, she can't face a challenge alone.

Dear Nancy, when will you realize that the world appreciates smart people, those who know what they want and where they are going? Those who know how to get to their destination and achieve their goals. When will you stop knowing the truth but believing lies? When will you stop hurting yourself?
