gymbunnycandiehart:Grow Out of It? Nah!There was a time when I thought that I might just grow out of my girliness. It’s not as though i ever thought it was “a phase”. I thought I’d eventually get old enough that I would lose interest. It hasn’t happened and I don’t guess it will. Ever since I was little, i was drawn to femininity. I remember being 3 or 4 and making my own cute girly sandals out of shoe insoles and cardboard, complete with pretty little flowers on them. I remember playing dress up by putting my legs through one leg hole of a pair of shorts so I could have a skirt. I didn’t have a sister and my mom was larger woman. So, I improvised a lot! I should have known that going to college wouldn’t change things. Neither would getting married. Neither would having kids.I’m forty-five now and I’m pretty sure this isn’t going away. And why should it? It’s not just a part of who i am, like an appendix that can be taken out without much issue. No, this is who I am. I can say it’s a part of me, but more precisely, this is who I am. Age won’t change that. It may change some dynamics of it. It already has. But getting older isn’t going to change who is at the core of who I have always been. So, I choose to not only grow old gracefully, but to also grow old girlifully.Here’s to many more years of girliness!CandieHart -- source link
