I'm No Longer Your Tinkerbell

To the Peter Pan in my past, your absence showed me I can be anything I dream of.

I'm No Longer Your Tinkerbell

We can call this a love story, but really it was a life lesson. It taught me what I deserve. It taught me that nothing was wrong with my expectations.

I spent too much of my time being your Tinkerbell. I would do anything for you, including sacrificing myself to be there for you. I was at your every call. I would fill with angry and jealously watching you give other girls the attention that I deserve. (Which now I know it was because I wasn’t of any significance to you.)

I ask myself “why?”. Why did I sit back and feel caged? The answer was I was willing to do anything to be able to fly with you. I wanted the adventure and the thrill of experiencing life with you. When in reality I can fly on my own. For I have my own set of wings, that I did not believe in myself enough to experience.

For you were Peter Pan and I expected too much from someone who didn’t think of anyone but themselves. You were on a mission to do life with you in mind. You weren’t willing to think of others or enjoy life with someone else. For you were stuck in Neverland and unwilling to grow up. You couldn’t and wouldn’t do life without the rest of your “lost boys”.

If it wasn’t chasing an adventure it wasn’t in your plan. For I, wanted something stable and that wasn’t in your plan. You lived life day by day, without any plan of the future. I went along with it, and waiting for the minute that you decided we could converse.

I’ve learned that there is so much to life when you realize your self worth. You can do anything you want if you believe in yourself. I believed in others the way I should of believed in myself. In the end, I learned that I was capable of anything as long as I escaped from Neverland.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
