random fact, i've always liked things in increments of threes. i came across this today and it's made me realize that i'm ready to grow the fuck up. i'm still a little bit of the weak, hopeless fifteen year old that doesn't know how to handle myself after heart break.. but all the while, i'm also a lot of bit my current twenty one year old self. i know that break ups can be more good than bad. i know that being on my own means getting to know myself all over again, rediscovering what i'm capable of doing, who i'm capable of being. i'm ready to fill these voids in my life with things that make me happy. now i have priorities outside of SAT's, placing at track meets, and attending volunteer events for my clubs. i am more worried about eternal salvation than bad hair days or pimples. i am more concerned with lifelong friends than boyfriends. and i am more determined than ever to shoo away potential suitors that take aim at my heart. i am just now realizing that having boys pursue me isn't something i should be proud of. (a bit overdue, i know). there are millions of boys chasing millions of girls out there. just because someone shows me the slightest interest doesn't mean i need to comply to their weak efforts. for now, i need to be a bad ass bitch, all on my own. ahh, my dark side tries to live on! in actuality, i'm trying to be a good ass, opposite of bitch.. sweetheart? because i am now officially preparing myself to be good enough for my husband.
yep that's right. honesty speaks. life was never meant for one in my eyes.
