who i admire...

I admire women who have the audacity to pack up their lives and their dreams and follow some crazy destiny that no one carved out for them, they just feel it in their bones.

I admire women who scoff at the idea of sitting in front of a computer all day. Women who want adventure and excitement out of life...not just ballers and child support.

I admire women who are beautiful and shapely, but rely on their smarts to get ahead.

I admire women who aren't afraid of their sexuality, but don't let it define them.

I admire women who are untraditional and aren't stereotypical.

I admire women who build their empires off being role models for other women.

I'm not sure I admire the woman who I am today. I am timid, self-absorbed, unconfident and unaware of what my goals are. I look at other women in envy, wondering why I can't have an audacious life. I am smart, educated, personable, cute (sometimes), trendy yet traditional. I have a firm foundation around a bendy, stretchy mindset. All I really want is an opportunity, for once, to explore all these talents and traits I have in a different setting.

I want to be a woman who is admired for my individuality.
