I'm that girl

Sometimes I wish I were that girl. The conventional one, who does conventional things. The girl people don't feel intimidated by. The kind of girl who's sweet and easy going.

And then reality comes flooding back in and I think...damn! can't go around being that girl!! It's much more fun being me...I'm the girl who decided she wanted her room to be a different colour, so went out, bought the paints and brushes, learnt to use my dad's sanding machine, and painted my room. I'm the girl who decided none of the one act plays I could find (in eighth grade mind you) so adapted a story to fit our time line and what I wanted to do.

I'm the girl who decided I wasn't learning what I wanted to at Uni so I left, without a plan. And here I am a year two years later, studying what I want, the way I want to.

That's who I am. I forget sometimes. But then, thankfully, I remember. I'm the girl who decides what she wants to do and does it.

Sheesh sometimes I wish I was that girl too. Well, I mean, not really that girl, I mean, it might be nice to hang out with that girl, she seems nice, but she's also bland, and doesn't have much to say. Actually I think I have been with that girl. Nevermind. Forget that girl. I'm confused. Where are my pants?

THAT girl is much better than the one that blends in! Be yourself! :-)
