Girls Like Me

If you find a girl like me, love her well, and never let her go.

Girls Like Me
Gabriella Galvagni

There are a lot of girls like me, girls who are a different breed. The thing about girls like me is that we are special, we are different, we are unique, and we’ve been hurt. We have been taken advantage of many times, our kindness, our loyalty, everything that makes us so different, usually is our downfall.

We are often the ones who have been hurt the most, we give everything we have into everyone, we try to see the good in everyone. We don’t know how to be selfish, we’ll give our last dollar to someone who needs it without a second thought on how it’ll affect us. We do that with everything we have, we literally will put our all into someone and in most cases, we don’t get the same in return. Like I said, girls like us have been hurt, we’re usually the ones that have been taken advantage the most, let down the most, used the most, and yet we still give it another shot, we reopen ourselves to the possibility of once again being hurt.

Girls like me are not always the prettiest, but the way we hold ourselves makes us a special kind of pretty, we fake it until we make it. We don’t have great confidence, we don’t love our bodies, we don’t see ourselves as beautiful, and we have issues with the reflection in the mirror. We’ve been programed to think that it’s our bodies and ourselves in general that keep people from wanting to have anything to do with us, so we try to make up for it in everything else.

Girls like me are more delicate than they seem. I know that I for one seem like I have it all together, that I have confidence, that I don’t care what people say about me, and that’s true to an extent. But in reality, I don’t have any confidence, I am a complete mess, but I refuse to let most people see that, I don’t want people to know the real me, because the real me is already broken, the real me is easy to hurt, but I will always forgive people when they do. That’s another thing girls like me do- we forgive too much and give too many chances.

Girls like me are hard to come by, so if you find one, be gentle, be careful, she’s been hurt a lot in the past. If you find a girl like me, know that no one will love you as much or as hard as she will, and it will hurt like hell if you leave her without telling her why. If you find a girl like me, don’t get annoyed by her questions, she asks them because she cares, and if she annoys you, just tell her, she’ll understand, she understands too much. If you find a girl like me, don’t let her go.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
