We Are Rodriguez

Why can’t I be like her?

I found myself aimlessly searching facebook at 2am last night. I started to drift into “people I went to school with years ago but I don’t want to friend them because I was never really friends with them” (you know what i mean). Clicking through acquaintance through acquaintance I caught myself thinking “why can’t I look cute like her” or “I love her style I could never pull that off”.

I don’t consider myself to have my own style or even have somewhat of a unique style. I am pretty much your run of the mill type girl. I shop at Target and any other place I can get cheap clothes. After about an hour of wishing I was someone else I realized that each one of these styles works for these women because they own it. Not because their body is the perfect shape or because they are as pretty as a Victoria Secret model. So while I can try to pretend to be someone else…someone who is edgy, hip, or feminine I can actually own what I wear and stop caring about being someone who I am not. 

Just my thought :)
