I will not apologize for not being someone else; for not being what you expected of me. I have so much more to offer than what I "failed" to give you.

I will not apologize for not being the blonde bombshell with the caramel skin, the long tan legs, and the perfect body. There is nothing wrong with being that, but, it just isn't me. Yes, I must admit that I would love to look like that every once in a while, but I must remember I am beautiful in my own way. I will not apologize for having a few extra pounds that I could get rid of or some stretch marks, because God forbid I'd be human. So tell me I need to go to the gym or tell me those pants are too tight. It'll sting but I will blow it off eventually, because, in the end, your opinion doesn't matter to me.

I will not apologize for not wanting to take my clothes off the first night I meet you. I'm not like other girls. I have my own unique standards that do not need to be questioned or compromised . I am not a "slut" because I didn't sleep with you and I am not one if I do. I will not apologize for not being like other girls because I am not another girl. I am me.

I will not apologize for my faith. Yes, I love God and no, I am not ashamed of it. I will not apologize for not being "cool" or for not being "fun". I can have fun in more than just the way you define it. I'm not sorry I don't party with you and your friends. I'm not sorry that I don't drink until I can't control my body or my mind. That's just not who I am.

Me or any other girl aren't any less attractive, fun, or wonderful because we don't do what "other girls" do or look the way "other girls" look. We have so much more to offer than what we "fail" to offer you.
