Bear
in mind that I’m a flower that chooses to grow out from the rubber flooring of
a children’s playground, always smiling, always a hot mess, attracting bees and mating 24/7 like a
wild lover.
And
then there are daisies looking all princessy at a windowsill.
I
believed you’ve met these people before. Hey, you probably are one but you
never realized it.
To
be honest, high maintenance partners are not my cup of tea.
In
fact, I never like putting brown sugar, milk and bubbles (tapioca balls) in my
tea. Just a warm, sweet but slightly bitter cup of leaves mixed with pure water
will do.
Why the hustle of waiting in line for hours to buy bubble tea to
secure your doubtful relationship, when you can watch me spill the tea of the
ending of this fairytale for you here?
1.
They need to be pampered.
They’re a delicate, exotic daisy that needs to be watered, fertilized and sang to sleep every night just to keep them alive. There’s definitely a price to win beauty over in your life. Fair enough.

2.
They need your constant attention.
Seeing each other once a week makes them miserable and they’ll start to wonder if this relationship is over. What they need is to see and hear their partner’s voice every day.

3.
Your partner will be so vain that he/she demands the best of things in life
that hopefully you can afford.
Get ready to save your money to spend on dates eating Sushi, buying branded items for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s day, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and drinking bubble tea from Signature regular cup to Durian flavored with extra sugar.

High maintenance partners are generally admired by others because of their
poise and polished behavior.
If he/she is really worth the fight, well, then, no one’s stopping you. However, these partners can be too controlling, like I said, they need constant attention. E.g. my friend needs to call his high maintenance girlfriend every night to talk on the phone, even if they see each other every day. Yes, possessiveness that comes with a pricy phone bill, but at least he’s happy, and that’s what matters, right?

Your life revolves around them.
Their emotional baggage is your responsibility to carry. They depend on you so much for their happiness that you just can’t bear to see them suffer. Oh, you carry your own baggage by the way.

6.
They love the hardest.
They’re so fragile that they’ll get a major heartbreak if you forgot to text them back for two weeks. However, on the surface they look as if they couldn’t care less, but deep inside they’re just a hopeless romantic that needs their Romeo to save them from loneliness.

In the end, there is
always someone who chooses a daisy with its sunny glow and sweet scent over a wild,
untamed flower because it is still your ideal type in a partner, but phew, what
a fortune to spend!
