Tired of being different
So I have guy friends that I talk to, about everything. And I do mean everything. One comment that has been made to me on very separate occasions is how different I am. I am not like other women. This was always said in a semi-wonder, positive way.I thought it was a good thing.
My parents raised me that it was ok, and even encouraged, to be different. That made you special (and not in a short bus kind of way, smartass). Unique is good, right?
I'm not so sure anymore.
I think I want to be just like every other woman out there as far as guys/relationships go. I want to be emotionally irresponsible and to not always be the one who looks out for both parties' long-term interests. It would be easier that way.
I don't want to be realistic anymore.
I want to believe that the world and people are all sunshine, roses and happiness again. That people don't do mean things on purpose and that they are honest, not manipulative or misleading. That they act from a place and motivation to be good and true and loving to all others.
I want to believe that everything will work out like it is supposed to in the end.
I know this is not the world we live in, but I don't think I care.
