Smarts

I would like to think of myself as a lady but in 2013 a lady means something different than it did even 20 years ago. Today my idea of a lady is being classy, independent, strong, smart and if you are funny then really you have it made. Sometimes you have to say a curse word to get your point across does it make you less of a lady, nope. I want my future children to look up to people like Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling, who are all smart hilarious strong hot women. I want my daughters to grow up knowing it is okay to be the smart girl in class. There is too much pressure on being hot and doing what others think is cool. I have never been the cool kid in class, not un popular really I always had a great group of friends who were funny, smart and pretty. We all went to college and have decent to awesome jobs now. I am proud of the way we turned out. I wish I could tell 15 year old me to stop being so annoying and angsty and to just be myself because I am awesome and go to college and pick something you enjoy and do it. Which is something I didn't do I went to college and got my degree, but in what? The job I have now has very little to do with what I studied in college and what I even really wanna do in life. However those experiences in college made me see what I didn't want. So I guess it wasn't a waste and I made it out of there with a handful of good friends. Sometimes its easier to focus on what you didn't do and what you don't have. Which is something I am trying to get away from in my late 20's because I do not want my kids to grow up with a negative mother, I want to be a positive influence on them so they grow up confident and awesome. So if I want them to be these things I need to be these things for them. Note I do not have children yet but the time is coming and being physically fit is important but being ready to raise children that other people don't want to punch if we go in public is also important to me.
