Feeling good is good enough for me

I have been carrying the same purse for at least 5 years...it could be 8.  I love it.  It's from target, and it's a functional cloth purse.  I know exactly where my phone is and where my keys are.  It's falling apart a little, but I haven't found one to replace it.

I don't wear a lot of makeup.

I am allergic to hair dye now, so I have let my grey streak shine.

I don't go out a lot, but I just don't believe it when I'm told that being happy in my solitude is a problem.

My soul smiles when my dogs are happy and there is good music on the radio.

I realize being too "still" was an issue.  I now go to the gym, and am happy to be on the path to a more healthy lifestyle.

Still...there are people at the gym who match head to toe. I don't have the time, money, or the inclination to dress up for the gym.  I just want to get there.  I am going to be healthy. This is not a fashion show for me.  

I wear bobby pins to keep my hair out of my face. and my workout clothes are from walmart and target...because I don't need to spend $50 on a pair of shorts to wear to the gym.

Half of the anxiety in my life is because people are trying to tell me I need to fit into something that I was not born to fit into.

I will probably never be part of a social club.

I will never carry a purse bigger than my ass.

I will not wear earrings bigger than my head.

I will not dress to impress.  I like my cargo shorts and flip flops.  Any man that doesn't appreciate that is not the man for me.

And there is absolutely no judgement here on anyone who does things I cannot do.  These things are perfectly acceptable and even great for those whose personalities fit them.  I'm just tired of feeling like I'm not enough because it's not me to do them.

I will get healthy,but I will not become someone I am not.

I am a hippie chick.  Love me or leave me alone, because feeling good is good enough for me.
