This has been a tough realization for me...but I'm a different breed of woman.

I've decided that it's nothing for me to be ashamed of, or to try to hide from people (as if I could hide it even if I wanted to). It's a part of who I am, it makes me unique...in a weird way. In no way am I conceited, in no way am I stuck up, I'm a good person. I'm just the kind of person with a lot of physical and emotional demands. I can't fathom the thought of sticking my hand in dirty dishwater. It took me 18 years to realize tap water is just like other water (still prefer the filter, if I'm being honest). I function a specific type of way, the way that makes me the happiest. I don't really care how much it may or may not annoy the next person. I'm coming clean with myself and I am coming clean with all of you. I'm a special kind of woman.

The tough kind. The difficult kind. The high maintenance kind.

1. I'm not drinking after you.

2. If it ain't Brazilian I don't want it.

"Why don't you wear your natural hair?" Why don't you mind your own business? Thanks.

3. I like my nails as long as my ex's excuses.

4. Yeah, I love attention.

5. Selfies are a virtue.

6. I change my phone cases based on the mood I'm in.

7. I can hardly afford my favorite mascara.But I'll never go without it.

8. My gas tank will be on E before my eyebrows go un-threaded.

9. I will not be happy if my food touches.

10. I think it's cute when girls try to "compete" with me. Healthy confidence.

11. My birthday is my favorite holiday.

12. You'll hardly ever see me without jewelry. If I could have every piece of jewelry with my name engraved on it... a dream come true.

13. I would love to travel the world.... but the way my picky eating habits are set up...

14. I talk about myself in third person.

15. I take my own blankets to sleepovers.

16. I'm not holding anybody's baby that may or may not drool on me.

17. I'm a drama queen.

18. I always come to slay.

"Who you all dressed up for?" Literally myself, thanks.

19. I'm happily confrontational (in the classiest, sassiest way).

20. When people try to tell me "no"....??? Foreign concept.

So thank you to all the people in my life, I can't imagine I'm an easy task to take on.

(But of course, I'm a worthy one)
