ive been thinking lately about the stuff i like to do, my interests, and how they tie together. what do i want to be known for? just one thing?
am i the girl with all the bracelets, the handmade unique ones? with long, wavy hair and tan skin?
am i the outdoorsy girl with the ratty pair of chacos, obx hwy12 sticker on the back of her outdoorsy 4wd SUV, who wears cool tshirts and cargo shorts?
am i the country girl with the thick southern accent? always caught in a camo hat, ripped up jeans, and dirty boots?
am i the one that EVERYONE knows played soccer and loves it? that goes to the gym almost daily and runs to stay in shape?
but really...i cant fit myself into just ONE of those. because every single one of those stereotypes shows through in me. at different times i might be one of those, since cramming them all together would get kind of messy, or tacky. does that make me a poser? not in the least;
ive always worn lots of bracelets on my wrists, each one is meaningful and is there to remind me of that meaning. granted i dont wear them all the time, especially when im working. gotta be professional.
ive grown up going camping, hiking, backpacking, enjoying the beautiful places God created for us. its in my blood to be like that. i have my pair of chacos, they go just about everywhere with me. my car fits me, that good old xterra. its just right.
ive loved horses ever since i can remember, im all for being southern. i love some good bbq, and while i dont hunt im all for it! i had a camo hat before they were cool. i had boots before they were trendy, ive worked my tail off in those boots. theyve seen every kind of mud you can imagine. they serve their intended purpose.
played soccer since i was 6, i love it. i like to be in shape, and fit. it just feels good. i miss playing soccer so much, i always will.
i dont have to fit into just one of my given interest areas. i love them all, and ill be them all.
