I don't mean that by buy me expensive things or bring me to expensive places. I don't mean I am looking for diamonds, pearls, and things that shine like your affection and admiration for me. I really don't need expensive dinners and drinks. Honestly, I am totally okay with Kraft Mac and Cheese and a caramel macchiato from Dunks.

I also don't mean I need your undivided attention 24/7 and to be waited on hand and foot. Yes, your attention is important to me, but it's even more important you understand how to give me my space and independence. I do not need your attention all of the time; I honestly do not want it. You are you, and I am still myself.

Nothing has changed other than us simply joining together.

I am a really independent person and am slowly but surely building my future. I am currently busting my ass off for everything I want to have, will have, and already have. So I really don't want you to treat me as if I am a damsel in distress.

I don't need to be spoiled and showered with gifts, but spoiled with support, encouragement, and understanding.

Bravery is not something I am lacking. I am my own knight in rose gold armor. I am my own hero and savior. I don't need you to save me; I can do that myself. But your support is greatly wanted and appreciated.

I get things done on my own. I am strong. I am independent and I am a force to be reckoned with. Being a young woman in 2017 is a journey. But I am proud enough to slay every day.

I am a Queen, a very boss-like Queen.

If you want to join my empire, you're more than welcome. If you want to grow with me and work with me, that's even better. If you don't, just sit back and watch.

Being a Queen isn't an easy job, but someone has to do it.

So treat me like it.
