"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
Who are you? If someone asked you that, could you answer? Sure, there's the obvious answers: Sister. Friend. Blonde. Lefty. Check. Check. Double-Check. (For me, anyway). But anyone can figure that out. There's got to be more to that answer. So how do you begin to answer it?
The truth is, I'm not really sure. But I guess the only place to start is to try. And hey, the more you need the figure out, the more that there is to explore.
I think of it like my closet -there's all these pieces from times when I was trying out something different. There's the Taylor-Swift-inspired skirt. Then there's the sparkly gold-and-pink tank top I bought to look like Sharpay from HSM. And then there's the Audrey Hepburn dress that matched with my Miley Cyrus/Demi Lovato hair. In fact, now that I think about it, much of my closet has been based off of trying to look like someone else, a sweet and pretty face in a magazine. Woah.
And that's not the worst thing ever. I mean, we are allowed to have people we admire, and it's cool to borrow or learn things from other people. But following in their footsteps can be like putting a placeholder on who you want to be. It's fine, and it may even be nice and easy, but don't you really want to take off the training wheels and ride for yourself? You can. But you have to make that choice and go for it. All by yourself.
