I'm not that girl

But I am that girl

41
I'm not that girl


I'm not that girl who has a perfect life.

I'm not that girl who has the perfect family.

I'm not that girl who had a 4.0 in school.

I'm not that girl who has the perfect relationship.

I'm not that girl who has a huge group of friends.

I'm not that girl who tries to look all dolled up everyday.

I'm not that girl that's peppy and happy all the time.

I'm not that girl who has tons of money.

I'm not that girl who gets along with her parents.

I'm not that girl who can do anything they want.

I'm not that girl who feels like they're on top of the world.

I'm not that girl who cares about what name brand they're wearing.

I'm not that girl who plays tons of sports.

I'm not that girl who parties 24/7.

I'm not that girl that cares about what everyone thinks.

I'm not that girl that can hold it together all the time.

I'm not that girl who eats healthy and works out all the time.

I'm not that girl that everyone wants to be like.


But here's what I am.

I am that girl that gets anxiety over the littlest things.

I am that girl that keeps things bottled up.

I am that girl who tries to make everyone laugh even if I'm in a bad mood.

I am that girl who just wants to live life.

I am that girl who isn't the strongest.

I am that girl who cries every time I watch The Notebook.

I am that girl that tries to be there for everyone.

I am that girl with the biggest heart.

I am that girl that gets very involved in life.

I am that girl who will be your biggest supporter.

I am that girl who has no idea what I'm doing in life.

I am that girl that keeps to herself.

I am that girl who is self conscious.

I am that girl who is not afraid to take risks.

I am that girl who stays up to 2am thinking about how I could of changed things 4 years ago.

I am that girl who puts other people first.

I am that girl that sticks up for herself.

I am that girl that does dumb things from time to time.

I am that girl that wakes up 15 minutes before I'm supposed to be somewhere.

I am that girl trying to figure myself out.

I may not be that girl, who has a perfect story book life. But I am that girl with a realistic mind, and a good head on my shoulders.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
