Me...Happily.


I. Am. Me. Small and petite. Just ready to tackle whatever challenge comes to me. I. Am. Unique. So what if I prefer to dance. In a ballet. In a tutu. Than on a bar floor. I. Am. Non-Alcoholic. I spend my time wise. So what if I turn away from drinks. If I think that beer stinks. And, yes, water is just fine. I. Am. Reserved. I have some integrity about myself. I don't like short skirts, Form-fitting clothes, Or High-heels for my toes. I. Am. Pop. Yes, I listen to pop. No, I'm not into to hip-hop. No, I'm not into rap. So what if I listen to music, Music that doesn't degrade me; Music that doesn't insult me; Music that doesn't require "bleeps". I. Am. Me. I am quiet. I dance. I love jeans and graphic tees. My hair is in my natural ponytail. I don't wear make-up. And yes, I prefer to spend time with... My four, lovely sisters. So what if you don't agree, If you don't think I blend with YOUR society. I may not listen to your music, Dress as you dress, Speak as you speak, Think as you think. Because, at the end of the day... I Am Me. Happily.

Everything that I feel I was, and still am, questioned on and about by the people around me. Be you, and be PROUD to be you! You don't have to explain yourself to anybody.
