but only on the outside

I think I like being a girly girl.

Wearing pink, wearing skirts. Curling my hair, and painting my face.

I like to make my eyelashes long, tanning my skin, painting my nails.

I love high high heels, adorable shoes, and a matching bag.

I like my blonde hair with its sunshine streaks.

I like things that sparkle, I like being a brand whore.

I love shopping.

But then I feel like I hate it, hate the girly girl I can be.

I want to dread my hair.

Pierce my eyebrow.

Stop wearing makeup.

I want to wear my washed soft tees, and my baggy board shorts.

I want to throw away the heels and wear my flip flops all day.

I want to surf all day.

I want to hang at the beach and make fun of the girly girls.

But I still like pink.

Both are feminine in the best kind of way. One of the reasons women are so lucky, you aren't deprived of morphing, of being attractive in all roles and capacities. Shopping or surfing, women will always have that ideal wavering behind them, making them universal in a way men can only dream of, the particular possessing all, the universal in the one body and mind. even when on a surfboard, you can still imagine them in high heels, you lose nothing in becoming the "other".

Marco~ Aww thanks, I think society tells us to be the high heeled debutante.... and I like that, but not always.

It'd be so cool to be a girl, except for that monthly curse (and other burdens women are blessed with).

I used to hate being a girl, you can't just roll out of bed in the morning, guys seemed to have it easier. But I think I am growing into the enjoyment of being female/
