This is kind of eating at me. i was reading a very sad true story in a magazine about a woman whose mom died of breast cancer when she was only twelve. before she died, the mom was talking to her daughter about all these things that she wished she could be alive to see like her going to the senior prom and getting married and having kids. my mom's alive and healthy and isn't going anywhere, but what if this woman whose mom died had turned out like me? I DO NOT WANT kids, I didn't even date in high school so I certainly didn't go to the stupid prom and I don't exactly drive men wild with desire so I'm less likely to get married than the pope. When i was 12 i thought i was going to get married when I grew up but i was very naive when i was 12 and I actually thought that adult men would be less obsessed with women's appearance than boys were, I had no idea it doesn't get any better.

Society tells us that this is supposed to be how our lives will be as women. But, not everyone experiences these things or even wants them. This was one woman writing about what her mother wanted for her. Everyone is different and I think that is a glorious thing.

Also, I would not change one thing about you. You are awesome just the way you are.

thank you sweetie. you are so nice to say that.
