I am the girl you bring home to your mother, the good girl. I can’t express the amount of times I’ve heard people remind me of this, not that is it a bad thing. My parents raised me to always be the girl who listened when others spoke, follow directions as they were given, and so on. I have learned over the years that is isn’t about how much you have, but those you surround yourself with. I used to be high maintenance, often called a princess, but no more. I just want to be with someone that can sit on the beach at night, hold a conversation, and have just much fun having a simple night in as going out. However, be careful because I fall easily which often gets my hopes up.
I dye my hair more than I should, but I think it is time I start getting back to my roots. I often look at back at the person I was in high school compared to the second semester college senior that I am now. I miss the shy new girl I once was. I still have my moments, though not many people see those moments. I blush a lot; more if I have feelings for you. If you say the right thing, you may see it; some people think it is adorable, but say the wrong thing and I’ll turn red with anger. However, I will hold it back. There is no need to argue over useless things; life is too short for that. That was not something I realized until recently, but now I know. I know that by yelling at someone is not going to correct a situation, and that if we are all just little more empathic towards one another that it would go a long way. I believe in having respect for someone even if they are a stranger to you, and if we respected one another there would be less hatred in this world.
I want to know what goes through everyone’s minds. There are times when I want to know what goes through one specific person’s mind, but then I think about how if we had the ability to do that, I would never be surprised by the things that are said. I like not knowing what is going to be said, it keeps me on my toes and makes me feel very alert. Yes, I have my little school-girl crush, but I keep an open and optimistic mind as to what could happen if it all gets out. That is the one thing I think that I’ll keep lingering in the back of my head…
