That Woman

I want to be that woman: the woman who sees the value of what she has to offer in a relationship and to the world, and won’t settle for anyone who doesn’t see it too.

I want to be that woman: the woman who doesn’t accept placeholders in her life, because something is not always better than nothing.

I want to be that woman: the woman who is confident enough to realize that she deserves common courtesies and shouldn’t have to rationalize their absence.

I want to be that woman: the woman who acknowledges sadness over lost opportunities, but knows that one day there will be new ones on the horizon.

I want to be that woman: the woman who fills her life with fun activities and interesting experiences with friends she loves, and who knows her life is full with or without a romantic partner.

I want to be that woman: the woman who knows that even when she has bad days or weeks or months, they won’t last forever.

 

I want to be that woman: the strong and brave one her friends see.

I want to be that woman.
