After 27 years…

I have always thought of myself as a bit of an oddball. An awkward girl who thrives on being just that. I roll my eyes at a lot of things and make fun of everything else.

I have gone through my entire life trying to figure out, like everyone else, who I am. I feel in this past year or so, I have gotten a pretty good grasp on the person that is growing into this skin. I knew a long time ago that I could never be like a lot of the other girls. I seriously have no idea how to accessorize an outfit, how to make the time to pair shoes with certain jeans, how to put on eyeliner or lipstick, or how to make myself look different than I would any other day.

Why? because I never got the point. Why make myself look like someone or something I am not?

I am a girl that gets home from work, and immediately am either in comfy clothes or gym clothes. (more often than not it’s the comfy)

I love doing absolutely nothing. I love lounging around and just being. That doesn’t mean I don’t like going out or new things, but I am a definite creature of habit.

I am a simple girl.

Over the years I have dyed my hair, gotten piercings, dabbled in smoking, dressed out of my comfort zone, trying to mold myself to the guy I was with. a couple years ago I just stopped.

Last year I finally got the "eureka" moment where I finally accepted myself and realized I needed to stop changing for people.

This all was good and fine.

But let me tell you…

Hearing someone else acknowledge the fact that you are a down to earth girl (in an absolute positive way) is something…something so great I cannot even describe it.

"You are honestly the most down to earth girl I have ever met. You have no idea how hard it is to find that in someone"

Knowing that you are starting something with someone who wants you for YOU is insanely new, and really extraordinary.

I realize how stupid this sounds, but I just don’t even care.

Duh.
