Feelings. Nothing more than feelings.

I always thought I wasn't the type of girl who was "girly". I don't like chick flicks, I don't like shopping. I don't like chocolate. (I almost heard you gasp in disbelief)

Relax.

But then, who's to say just because those things aren't me, that I'm not girly? Just because I love action movies, or riding a 4-wheeler, or watching football.

I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and came to terms with the fact that I'm girly simply because I'm a girl. And that works for me. I like to put on makeup and have it look nice. I like to look in the mirror and like what I see. I like to hear someone say I look pretty.

I may just be wearing makeup to a screening of The Fast & The Furious, but it's me.

Lately I've felt less and less like I need to define myself by a societal label, and more and more like I just need to live my authentic life.

Living this life.
