“I will never be the girl with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it.”(Carrie Bradshaw)
The above quote is one of my favorites from "Sex and the City". I fell in love with this quote because it was a liberating moment for my beloved Carrie. She just finished reading the wedding announcement for Big and his twenty something model Natasha. With tears in her eyes she finally admits that she will never "BE" that girl and why try. Perhaps I'm off base but I don't see a point in writing a letter to this person that I wish I could be. Why in the world would I aspire to be someone else when I am ME! I'm spunky, creative, moody, respectful, at times disrespectful, opinionated, and slew of other adjectives (some good, a few not so good). What I'm trying to say is that I appreciate who I am and I'm quite happy to be this quirky individual. Of course it would be nice to be that girl that cries pretty, wears matchy pieces, and uses correct grammar. But I've come to accept I'm an ugly crier. My socks and undergarments will never match up. (Right now I'm wearing one dress sock and one footie. Hey don't judge me. It's the darn sock monster, always stealing my socks.). And Spell Check is the best thing since slice bread. So instead of wasting my time writing about who I could be, I'm going to celebrate the awesomeness that is me!
Who will you never be and have you embraced it?
Affectionately yours,
Beautifully Flawed
