This is the unraveling of a twenty-something year old woman. I broke. I cried. I laughed. I hurt myself and others. I grew a backbone. I did many things and had many things happen to me. This story; well, it's the healing of it all. Enjoy.

who are we appealing to?
had a conversation with the boys again. they tried to tell us girls that we get dressed for other girls. maybe that's true. but i can't recall a time i put on 5 and a half inch stilettos with a form fitting outfit, flawless makeup and hair laid better than a drag queen in hot-lanta for another female. b.tch please and i mean that in the nicest way possible. i am a woman that appreciates other women who upkeep their appearance. i have no problem complimenting another woman on knowing what works for her and executing it accordingly. but when i get dressed, it's to make me feel good first and then secondly, attract a man that might potentially make me feel better. like i said in an earlier post, looking good makes me feel good. according to @danigirlbx, we stand in the mirror for however many hours, minutes to ensure that we absolutely love the reflection. then and only then, will we achieve the air of confidence we need to step out and be comfortable. it has absolutely nothing to do with other girls. and honestly, the reason why i believe it is this: without makeup, fancy clothes, high shoes or expensive bags, i was still born with this body and this face and i couldn't be happier about that. we all know, once your happy with yourself, nothing else really matters. sorry ladies, you're cute and all, but so am i.
