GOOD GIRLS go to Heaven; BAD GIRLS go EVERYWHERE |
Those of you who were a part of my life last year know that I went through a break up. Now that’s normal, people break up and I’ve had them before. But this particular break up forced a lot of change within me, forced me to look at things differently especially my views on certain things, and it even made me begin the journey of my dream career.
Since the age of 16 I have been in monogamous relationship
after relationship. That’s who I am - or
was – the die-hard monogamist who swore she could never date more than one
person at a time because “I can’t juggle, it’s just too much work to devote the
amount of time an energy I put into a relationship to more than one person.” It’s
funny how things change.
I was always the “Good Girl”, the ultra-supportive, loving,
caring, MRS. Type. I desired it all – the house, the kids, the status. But I
never got what I wanted or needed. In a way my previous situation was an
awakening for me.
It’s like I was always standing on the edge of a cliff that
was bound to fall anyway, but instead of waiting around for it to crumble I was
pushed over the edge. Now the normal reaction to such a thing is to try to hold
onto the edge and regain your place. But not for me. I have no desire to be
rescued, no desire to return to that edge, no desire to hang on. I just want to
continue to fall and be, and feel free. For the first time in my life I am
going to be the “Bad Girl”. I’m going to date as many people I want when I want
and how I want, I’m going to flirt unforgivingly with boys with girls with
whomever because I love the attention, I’m going to put myself first always,
and most importantly I am going to follow my dreams and build an awesome future
for myself.
For the first time in my life I feel FREE. You never know
how bound you are to a certain role in life, a certain way of thinking, or certain
ideals until something forces you to abandon them. So I’m sure the question is
will I play the “Bad Girl” role forever? I don’t know. Some call this a phase,
but what if this is who I am supposed to be?
Everyone has a breaking point. Drop someone hard enough and
eventually they crack.
