Guest Post: To the Girl Who Just Wasn't and That's Okay

GUEST POST from my daughter, whom surprises me more and more everyday with her courage, spirit and persistent resistance to be who everyone says you should be and just be her.  This kid is going to move mountains and I am beyond lucky to be along for the ride.


"To the Girl Who Just Wasn't, and That's okay."
My first Writing Piece. I know it's not the best, and it still has Flaws, but Hey, I'm not Beyoncé.  I hope You enjoy!

To The girl who just Wasn't:

I am Just like you. I don't really know where I belong. I feel like I'm just kind of there. I don't fit in with the Jocks. I mean, I'm good at basketball, but not "Sporty" exactly. I'm not a girly girl. I can't keep Lip Gloss on my Lips for the life of me. LIP GLOSS. I see 6 year olds wearing that! That's Kinda Outrageous. I'm not a Geek. I don't know who Stan Lee is. I do know Mark Twains Real name, Samuel, because of a Academic Team Meet (Which I was the Captain of). I'm Not at Nerd. I can't Spell big words like them. Heck, I have a hard time Spelling Dinosaur sometimes.

I may not be one, but I'm a little bit of all. I don't Consider myself to one category. Us as a Human Race should never do that. Just Because I'm good at Sports don't mean I'm a Jock. I probably won't make it into my High School's Basketball Wall of Fame, and that's okay. I've accepted it. I'll Most likely never dance at Radio City Music hall. That's just not me. I'm not going to be a Neurosurgeon or a Paleontologist. I don't know what I'm going to be. I feel like we get caught up in label and forget who we really are. To The Football Player Who Annoys me, I know you just want attention. I know it's mostly about your brother at home. To The Dancer who thinks she's better, I know you aren't really a brat. We all Really need to just accept it already.

Albert Einstein one said, and I quote, "You can't Judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree. It will live it's whole life believing it is stupid." I guess that dude was pretty smart. And Listen, I'm not perfect. I'm Clumsy, Laugh at my own jokes, and even if I don't want to admit it, I sometimes like my own Picture on Instagram. I don't like a Specific Genre of Music, and I still have acne, but that's okay. You were made exactly how you needed to be made. Just be Awesome and be you!
