Today’s society tells girls that they have to fit a specific mold to even dream about finding the right guy.
Well, if you are anything like me you are far from fitting into a stereotypical mold. You enjoy laughing hysterically and telling cheesy jokes. You never intend to make a fool of yourself, but that part just happens on its own.
It breaks my heart that we live in a world that tells girls they have to “stand still and look pretty.” To be fair (*insert thick British accent*), I don’t think that I am the type of girl that can stand still.. period. If a good song comes on, you better believe that I will be the first one to start dancing. It’s safe to say I’m not the type of person you want to hang out with if you’re easily embarrassed.
To the girls that have the same dorky personality that I do, don’t lose hope for finding “Mr. Right.”
I believe that God created us with a specific personality for a reason. If we were all meant to be boring and fit into a mold that society deems as normal, I believe that He would have created us that way. But, thankfully, He didn’t. Could you imagine a boring world with no laughter or sarcasm or pickup lines? Me either!
I’ve learned over the past couple of years that if a guy can’t appreciate my overly loud laugh and crazy sense of humor, then we aren’t meant to be together. I don’t want to sacrifice my fun-loving personality to be in a relationship that probably won’t end well anyway.
I’ve been in relationships before that just ended up suffocating me. I’ve been with guys that have tried to change me to fit the mold that they think I should fit, and I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that I began to let them change me. I started thinking that something was wrong with me, and that maybe I did need to change because if I ever wanted to find the right guy I needed to tone myself down a bit.
One thing that I quickly realized is that the guy I am meant to be with will accept me just as I am. He won’t try to change anything about me, and if I’m lucky enough he will be just as crazy as I am or even crazier. I hope that the girls out there who are like me can come to the same conclusion.
Trying to be someone other than who you truly are doesn’t sound like a very fulfilling life to me. So wait for the man that accepts you for who you are. Trust me, he is out there somewhere. You just need to embrace who you are and realize that God’s timing is perfect. He will place Mr. Right in your life when He knows you are ready for him. For now, live life singing songs at the top of your lungs and whatever you do.. don’t stop dancing.
