True Confessions Of A Girly Tomboy

Why not be the best of both worlds?

True Confessions Of A Girly Tomboy

I have always had friends and family comment on how I act like "such a girl" or "such a boy." I feel that there is no need for certain actions to classify me as either being a girly girl or a tomboy, but let myself be the best of both worlds. This belief is what labeled me as "girly tomboy." I have always been the type to "hang with the bros," but also engage in and enjoy "girl talk."

I have always loved kicking back and being able to talk about topics of interest to one group that isn't of interest to another and all that is in between. I believe that this kind of personality has allowed me to keep an open mind and click with all types of crowds. Personally, I believe that life is more enjoyable when you have interests that range from outdoor activities, sports, superhero movies and food to fashion, cheesy movies, shopping, and gossip with friends. When talking with my close friends and family, I am either super cheesy and sappy or extremely sarcastic and playful.

I have also been told that I have a diverse fashion sense that fluctuates between a boyfriend jeans and over-sized t-shirt combo paired with vans or leggings and a sweater paired with ankle boots. Although what I wear depends on my mood, it also depends on my level of comfort desired. I have always been the type to dress for comfort first and style second while leaving the opinions of others third.

Being the way I am and having unique interests, style choices and friend groups that vary has helped me to not worry as much about everyone else's opinion and to focus on my own. Why limit yourself to just being one thing? Be everything that makes you happy and don't let anyone else confine your interests and actions into specific boxes.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
