This weekend I got the best complement ever. I was In Philly at my first NBA game - had to take a quick smoke break and was standing at the outside bar (minding my own business) and there was a group of about 5 guys standing near ... I (on purpose) did not make eye contact because I was with people and it was a very quick break. But standing there I overhear their conversation ....
"Now that girl is ALL woman!" so of course I look over trying to see who he is talking about and by my surprise they are ALL looking at me. I put out my cig and grab my drink and walk away (feelin that they are all looking at my ass ...) As I sit down at my seat I have this air of disbelief .... I know I am an kickass brilliant girl- but I don't EVER really think of myself as a "woman". (And I'm sure my fabulousness wasn't what they were commenting on BUT ....)
I think of a woman as someone that is sexy, wise, secure, independent, and she has all of the power. A woman is the top of the heap ... she is magnificent!
Granted I am very girly - I get mani's & pedi's ... I wax ... I am all about my hair and being in my idea weight or under ... I dress to impress and I put my shit out there. I am independent, I support all of my own habits and existence. I am opinionated and wise in my own respect just due to the experiences I have had in my short but colorful life.
But do I really think strangers NOTICE? Not really. I do all of this for myself - to make ME feel good.
But to be said that "I am a woman" felt really, really, REALLY good.
Maybe I have arrived .... In my mind "absolutely".
