Stereotypical Girl
I was told that because I'm a girl,
its unusual to play video games,
its unusual to like comics ,
because I'm a girl its unusual for me to prefer to talk about cars rather than make-up and manicures,
then finally someone asked "Why are you not like the other girls?"
a sigh of relief escaped my mouth as the weight of being told what I can and cannot like was lifted off my shoulders,
I exclaimed the long waited words of "Because I'm not your stereotypical girl"
I love comics,
I love video games and yes I would rather talk about cars,
but don't get me wrong I love doing make-up to and being a make-up artist for TV and theatre is my dream,
but I don't have to surround my self with everything cute and pink to say I'm a girl,
I am me,
I am unique,
and I'm not afraid for you to know.
