The woman I will never be


Women try to be beautiful, almost daily... it's like we don't allow our natural beauty to bewe try to be beautiful by using so many "tricks": clothes which make you look taller, skinnier, fitter, which make you have a better ass, waist, breasts, then make-up, hair(all the cuts and colors), then all the accessories we use: rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets...
I would lie if I say I don't enjoy all this, but at times it becomes tiring... we begin to be worried about a few extra kilos, we approach diets, we exhaust ourselves with diets, sports, pills to trim down, cutting off sugars, bread, too much this and too much that... it's seems we become complete professionals when it comes to knowing what we are not allowed.

I know I will never be the woman who has perfect hair daily, it will never look perfect when I wake up, when I go to gym, when it's a rainy day or a hot steamy day... in fact, my hair has a rebellious character and I kind of like it like this :) and not even when I go to a hair salon does my hair stay perfect for the whole day and not to mention that I hate to iron my hair to the point where it completely sticks to my head. No way !

I know I will never be the woman who has perfect nail polish daily. Why ? Because I don't have patience... patience for it to dry up. After I perfectly paint my nails, I somehow need to type, write, grab something... or I have to scratch my nose, etc. Second reason will also be that my job involves typing a lot... so my nails hit the keyboard a lot.

I know I will never be the woman who likes to window-shop on a daily basis or often.
I know I will never be the woman who will spend a whole day at the mall... Funny or not, whenever I go shopping, I KNOW or I HAVE THE FEELING about the places where I am going to find the things I need and I do get them. I hate to waste a whole day in shops. When it comes to jewels, I don't look for them, they somehow come my way and I notice them and I buy them on the spot (in most cases I also have the money with me)... similar thing happens to me when it comes to buying books.
Yes, I am a woman who likes to read and, yes, I do buy books... I even have times when I invest a lot in books and then I take them gradually and read them, but first I like to have them, I have to know that they are there in my home.

I know I will never be the woman who likes to buy a puppy hoping she will look cute walking down the streets with it... and I'm sure not going to play dress-up with my pet.

I know I will never be the woman who wears heels to go and buy bread and a bottle of water or who will prefer to freeze in the middle of the winter for the love of fashion...

I know I will never be the woman who will choose a man as a piece of jewelry, with the attitude: "Does he look good beside me ?" or "Does he make me look good?".

I know I will never be the woman who will expect from guys to dress her up and take her to the clubs or to shops for the sake of making her shut up or for "buying" her attention, companionship, etc. You may think I'm talking lies, but I get a strange feeling when it comes to such things... I like presents, but I like them from people who really know me and care for me.
And this I can feel.

What kind of woman, you girls, will never be ?

Ma gandesc si acum la cocul pe care l-am avut in ziua nuntii si care s-a stricat inainte sa apuc sa ma pozez bine cu el si care nici nu m-a interesat ca imi strica sau nu imaginea :) Lucrurile conteaza atat de putin, starea conteaza cel mai mult, ceea ce simti nu uiti niciodata.

@ ally_aria : De acord, daca stam bine sa ne gandim, amintirile noastre sunt mai mult formate din sentimente, carora li se alatura imagini :)
