Here are some of the things that I will never do, and I'm OK with it. I've come to terms with my limits, and you should too.
1. Become A Runner
Plain and simple; I hate running. I have asthma and thighs that rub together when I run. I have lost all hope of ever actually liking running, and that's fine. I do have an incredible amount of respect for runners though.
2. Eat Meat
I've been a vegetarian for a year and a half now and there's no way I'm going back. Not only would it probably make me very ill, I just can't stand the thought of eating anything with a face ever again.
3. Be A Size Two
I'm a big supporter of body positivity. Whatever body you were given, love it. If you're a size two, rock it. If you're a size 18, rock it. I know that my body was never meant to be a size two, and I'm okay with it.
4. Be An Olympian
My Olympic dreams were crushed a long time ago when I was a figure skater who started too late. I will never be good enough at a sport to go to the Olympics, and that's fine. I rock at other things like being a mom to my dog and drinking orange juice on a daily basis.
5. Shut Up
I love my big mouth and loud opinions, they're what make me so darn lovable (and loath-able). I will never hold my tongue on things that are important to me, and that is perfectly OK.
6. Graduate In Four Years
It just isn't in the books for me to finish college in a four year window, and that's OK. I'll get there when I get there.
7. Be Completely Independent
Let's face it, I will always rely on my parents for things. How to check my tire pressure, how to file my taxes, how to pay rent. Just some of the things that I will always call up good ol' Mom and Dad for. I will always have their love and support, and that's OK.
8. Love Any Being More Than My Dog
She's the love of my life. She gets me and is always there to listen. I love her to death and that will never change.
9. Kick My Caffeine Addiction
Coffee is a daily necessity. Whether it's for the taste or the caffeine, I will never truly know. I just know that I love it, I need it and that's OK.
10. Give Up Cursing
Sorry, Mom. It has become part of my vocabulary. I will always have a potty mouth. Sometimes it feels good to just say **** it!
