Remembering me...

I was in a relationship for a year. Of that year, we spent 6 months living 22 hours away. We racked up air miles like candy. For the other 6 months, we lived together.
Yeah, that was a great idea.

However, I'm single again. It took me three months to kiss someone new. And three months and a week for my first date. But, MAN...was that wait worth it!

I remember me again. And I remember being fine with who I am...feeling okay with my own personal style and charm.

So what if my idea of dressing up is wearing a pair of my beautiful heels with my $20 blue jeans and pearls? Who cares if I think I look better in solid colors, instead of trashy prints? Who gives a flying monkey's butt if I don't wear full makeup everyday? I think I look great today. I'm in my Tevas, my Old Navy blue jeans, my solid red tank top from Wal-Mart, bronze eyeliner and mascara. And I look great.

I've let other people make me believe that I'm not enough and I'm not attractive. It took three months for me to remember who I am.

And it took ONE date for me to know that some people like me for me....

That's who I'll surround myself with.
