I am just a girl. I have flaws, strengths, insecurities and gifts. I sometimes snort when I laugh and cry at every single movie out there. I go through stages of eating super healthy, to eating a pound of chocolate a day. I have my guilty shows, but I watch the news and know all the current political topics. I am just an ordinary girl, with extraordinary dreams for my life.
To my friends: I am just a girl. You guys are some of the most special people in my life. Whether it has been years of friendships or just a few months, there have been many memories that I have with all of you; and for that I am truly thankful. We have great times together; we also have some rocky times. I am just a girl. My emotions play with me sometimes, and I take it out on the wrong way. I choose my friends wisely, and do not let everyone in very quickly. So remember, when the times get tough between us; no matter the circumstances, I want the best for our friendship. Luckily though, I am just a girl who has a great group of friends that I could not live without.
To my family I am just a girl who happens to be related to you. You have watched me grow from a baby who couldn’t walk or talk, to being a college student who thinks she has her life together. Thank you for raising me to be the girl I am today. There have been good times, bad times, happy times, and time of grief. Every single moment has shaped me to be the girl I am today. I have made mistakes, I have screwed up (probably more times than I should have), I have laughed uncontrollably, you guys have helped make me one of the happiest girls alive. I am truly thankful for you making me the girl I am today.
To my past ex- boyfriend(s), I hope you realized after we ended things that I was just a girl. I was just a girl who was crazy about you. I told all my friends about you and, as I pinned my wedding board on Pinterest, I secretly hoped it would always be you who I was planning my future with. I was just a girl when you met me. We had some great times together, some of the best memories I have were with you and your friends. Yet, time moved on and our paths started to separate. I knew it was time to part our different ways, but as we did, I hope you saw that I was just a girl trying to do what I thought was the best for me.
To all the boys who will cross my path in the future, remember I am just a girl. I do not have my act in order 24/7. There may be days that I look a little homeless or maybe smell bad because it is day three of no shower. I will cherish all our special moments together. There will be times that I screw up along the way, but that is when you need to remember, that I am just a girl who is trying my hardest. I will give you all I have to offer, until the day comes that I cannot offer you anything else. Please remember, throughout it all, I was just a girl that saw something special in you.
To Mr. Right out there, I am just a girl. I promise that I am going to love you like there is no tomorrow. I will always be there to listen and talk to you in your time of need, in your time of triumph, or even when you lie in bed awake with your mind running 100 miles a minute. With that being said, I am just a girl with much insecurity. I am going to get jealous, I am going to angry, I probably will cry; cry a lot. So please whether it is the greatest day with me, or the worst, always remember, I am just a girl who is madly in love with you.
To the world; I am just a girl. There are many people out there watching me like a hawk to see my failures, and there are also many people watching my achievements. The world can be a cruel place to girls. We are told to be skinny, to be strong in our workforce, to not show weakness, however, we are girls; we lead with our emotions, we try to see the best in everything, and we have a lot of compassion for people that do not reciprocate it. So next time you see a girl on the street who looks like she does not have it all together, remember this, she is just a girl. Just like I am just a girl who is not going to let the odds of the world hold me back from getting where I want to be.
