Being a girl is really fucking hard. I don't know what I'm doing half the time. Growing up, I always considered myself a "tomboy". I never wore dresses really and I made it known that my favorite color was NOT pink. I feel like there's so many expectations when it comes to being a girl. There isn't any shade being thrown towards girls that are "girly" because sometimes I wish I was. I've just always been different and I've decided to explain why that's the case.
First off, what the hell is contouring?! Big props to girls who know how to use makeup because I have no idea what I'm doing 90 percent of the time. I bought a makeup brush from CVS a week ago and the brush part has already broken off. I guess you get what you pay for. I have no desire to spend more than 50-60 dollars on makeup. That kind of money could probably buy you one makeup brush at Sephora. I also never get my nails done. I got a pedicure for the first time in over ten years and it was honestly the best decision I've ever made.
Second of all, how the hell do I walk in heels?! I look like a baby deer learning how to walk for the first time every time I put a pair on. It doesn't help that I'm only 5'2 and posing for pictures with my friends that are already taller than me, and are also wearing high heels. I can't wear heels for longer than 5 minutes without wanting to cry and take them off.
Third, what kind of clothes do I buy?! I literally throw on leggings and sweatpants everyday because I hate jeans. I'm not really a fan of wearing dresses but I'd rather wear a dress to one of my sorority's chapter meetings than uncomfortable khakis and a blouse. My Nana picked out all of my clothes until I was in high school. She'll probably read this and laugh because she knows it's true. (Hi Nana!!).
Next, I don't know how to do my hair! It's so thick that I just leave it natural because it takes way too much time to straighten or curl it. So basically, it just always looks like a hot mess.
Lastly, I'm not considered "lady like" at all. If I put makeup on and a dress, people ask "What's the occasion?!" or "Why are you all dressed up?". Another reason why I don't really try. I'd rather not have people ask me those questions. Also, I'm extremely loud and not very graceful at all. I'm either dropping or bumping into something. I am simply just me. "Take me as I am or watch me as I leave." Not really sure who said that one but it's so fucking true. So if you're like me and can't do your hair, makeup, or put on a dress all the time, then hi, you're my new best friend.
