I Will Not Apologize For Not Being Her

Because I have so much more to offer than what you fail to see.

Sep 07, 2016

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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
