How interesting is it that at times, if not most, my looks is the most interesting thing people see about me. How interesting you notice the way I am shaped but didn’t even notice my big brown eyes. So busy with your wandering eyes. You’re interested in my undergarments but aren’t interested in my hobbies? Did you know I love to fish and love tiramisu even more? No, you dont, because you’re too busy trying to get me another drink and trying to find a way to take me home with you. To make things better, a lot of you want to say well what were you wearing and why are you out and about socializing if most people go there to end the night next to someone. I think my blank tank top, jeans, and size small rainbow flip flops are not the reason I am being imagined by a man naked while he is talking to me. I think it’s just your mindset. Or maybe you’re right, maybe the toe ring I have or my claw clip on my hair is what gave the impression that my appearance is alllllll I have to offer…..maybe.

I want to really encourage everyone reading this to remember that just because something is common DOES NOT MEAN IT IS NORMAL. Just because it is common to get cheated on doesn’t make it right to cheat. Just because it is common for people to see with lust does make it right for you to be added to that list. Just because you see everyone else settle with horrible partners that abuse them verbally, physically, and/or mentally DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT for you to settle. Something being common and something being normal, have two different meanings.

I hope one day I get to meet someone who knows me. I want to be with someone who knows my jokes, and how I am going to react when someone brings out UNO to play. I want to meet someone who knows I love tomatoes and hate pickles. I want someone who knows me for me and loves me for me. I want someone who sees me and not just looks at me. I want someone who takes the time to KNOW me and not just my body. In a world full of lust, I am still full of love and for that reason I will never settle because the only thing stronger than hate, lust, jealously,etc. is LOVE.
