How to be single. Seems pretty simple to me, considering I’ve been doing it for 18 years and counting. And I’m not complaining. All this free time I have where my friends spend it with their SO, I figure out what I really want out of life. Have I figured it out? No. Not even close. But I do know how to be myself.
I aspire to be the kind of woman that when my feet hit the floor in the morning, the devil thinks “oh crap, she’s up”. It’s a confidence thing. It’s a be yourself thing. Because when you’re yourself it can scare the crap out of people.
Being yourself can mean a bazillion things. You could dance around your room in a ridiculously big sweatshirt and your underwear (my personal pick). You could do face masks, paint your nails, run (you do you). It can mean making sarcastic comments at rude people. Being yourself can mean that you wear a full face of makeup like warpaint to face the day. I had a very influential woman in my life that always did this when she felt like crap and I could see that it always made her feel better.
Doing any of the things that make you feel settled into your skin will scare the crap out of people. That’s not always a bad thing. It weeds out people you don’t want to be in your life (this is also ok). I don’t know why it scares people when you be yourself. Maybe because we all just go along with whatever we are told to do. You know, fit the trends. But being yourself means that you fit your own trend, as corny as that sounds.
Be your own Elle Woods, Kat McCullah, Morticia Addams, Leia Organa, or literally any female role model. Be you. Scare the crap out of everyone, even the devil himself will think twice about crossing a confident woman.
