- I am not hysterical enough
- I do not text my boyfriend several times each hour "Donde esta?" (where are you?)
- I am not angry enough
- I do not get angrier as the hours of the day pass
- I am not thin enough - or at least not starving myself to be thin enough
- I do not smoke to curb my appetite (to be in the I-want-to-be-thin diet program)
- I do not know all the cosmetic surgery terms
- I have never had Botox done (at my age? the horror!!)
- I do not have a therapist/psychologist that I visit every week or whose number is in my speed dial
- I am not insecure enough
- I am not afraid to be past my 30s
- I actually know who I am or has the sense of self
- I smile to everyone
- I wave back when someone waves at me - even if I do not know them
- I say "Hola/Hello" to everyone that is anyone
- I say Good morning/good afternoon or hola to my peaje person
- I look at guys straight in the eyes!
- I actually have a say in what I like and do not like
- I am too much of a free spirit to be told to do anything
- I do not think every guy is nice to me just to get me to go to bed with them (isn't that like being conceited or full of yourself - I am not that!)
- I have my own set of jewelries that I love and treasure
- I talk to everyone that will talk with me - in my broken and uniquely accented spanish
- I pay attention when I am driving
- I make a point to sing (CDs) to cut the stress factor when driving the autopistas
- I thank everybody even if they are rude to me - I always say "it's their problem".
I can think of others but for tonight you get the idea. I like the fact that I am not from here. I can see how different I am and I love being different. I would not want to be just like the next person here, I stand out and in my book - it is a very good thing. People tend to remember me - and isn't that what a woman is all about? Being remembered long after you have left the room. Now that is me. Cheers!
