Why is it that we always want what we cannot have?
Curly hair isn't good enough, straight is better. Tan skin is the most attainable if you are super pale. The boy you can't have is your dream guy...when does it stop?
This is where it stops. Or at least I attempt to stop wanting the opposites from that of which I have. After having such a wonderful Thanksgiving and reflecting on all of the sweet things that this life has to offer, I still have to remind myself that I am happy. I am content. I keep thinking about all these things that life will hopefully bring me in the future and I seem to forget about everything I have right in front of me. I'm nineteen, and I feel so old and you know what...it's alright. I just have to keep in mind that I'm not old. I have a long way before all the wonderful stuff that life will bring. It's not quite time yet and I need to enjoy this time, the now. So this is a reminder to myself: SLOW DOWN. Appreciate the now a little more so you don't regret rushing past it in the future.
And to quote the oh so wonderful Cat Stevens, or Yusef Islam if you prefer (and yes, you have permission to make fun of me):
"It's not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy. You're still young, that's your fault; there's so much you have to learn."
Straight is better when your husband thinks it's sexy, and tan skin only accentuates acne scarring.
ReplyDelete...OR I could say....
I have unending options when it comes to hairstyles, and I can get away with never wearing pantyhose year round.
:) Perspective. Circle the wagons, and pick the best view. It's hard,and I used to be a lot better at it than I have been lately...but I'm working at it again.
DINNER. SOON.
