You’re low maintenance, so what? Stop letting people turn that into a negative and stop letting people compare you to others who may have nicer material items or adventures. Being low maintenance can be the best thing about you, be proud of it.
Show it off because it benefits you in so many ways, don’t believe me? Here’s four important reasons.
- Saves Time
Hello, first one is kind of obvious. You can get up in the morning and be out of the door in t-minus ten minutes. Sorry but sleep is way more important than making sure my face is “highlighted” in every way possible. Ain’t nobody got time for that shit.
- You’re Satisfied Easier
You don’t need big flashy gifts or a weekend spent on a yacht to be happy. Get together with a few friends or maybe just a night in with a bottle of wine and you’re happy as a fat kid eating cake. “Bae” doesn’t need to buy you a Mercedes for Christmas and your parents don’t need to buy you the newest technology every time an upgrade comes around.
- Money saved
On top of saving money for people giving you gifts, being low maintenance works in favor of your wallet too. Who the f**k thought it should be normal to spend $60 on eyeshadow and $50 on one lipstick? I mean come on guys! Being low maintenance means you’re satisfied with your $20 sale boots instead of those new $1,700.00 pair of Jimmy Choo boots.
- Simpler dates
You don’t need to be taken to the nicest restaurant in town where the bill is 75% bigger than the portion of food you were given. You don’t need to be sitting front row at the concert with back stage passes. I mean, yeah, that crap is nice and all, but you’re just fine at a local hole in the wall shop with that cute little patio facing the lake or nose bleed seats next to your love.
No, you are not cheap by any means, you just know how to appreciate the smaller things. You understand that sometimes taking things step by step and seeing the beauty in the sunrise is better than focusing solely on what society calls “high end”.
At the end of the day, a low maintenance friend or significant other is what people go for. You are a breath of relief to the person who just dealt with a massive headache in their last relationship. You, my low maintenance dear, are like coming up for air when somebody was drowning in a sea of materialistic idiots.
