It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked back in life, you’re still wildly optimistic!
Hey man, dream big - always dream big.
But, while you’re busy dreaming big, your parents aren’t on QUITE the same page as you…
Thanks, dad. Thanks a lot.
Which can lead to more than a few awkward conversations…
Et tu, mother?
Maybe - MAYBE - they’re justified though. After all, you do have a bit of a knack for getting into trouble…
Yes, Daniel Cleaver - we ARE talking about you.
But at least you have your BFFs to keep you grounded, right?
Hmm.
Maybe it's their fault you suffer from MAJOR verbal diarrhoea.
“Did I say that I hate Perpetua? What I meant to say was… erm…
"That is, what I really meant to say is… hmm…
"Well, b**llocks.”
But that means that you always know exactly what to say, right?
Well, you DO - you just don’t ever know HOW to say it. Not in a way that other human beings will understand, at least.
You’re always willing to TRY chatting to people, though.
That counts for something. We promise.
Even if, you know, you don’t have the best handle on current affairs.
Skirt past THAT topic when it comes to making small talk, yeah?
Or introductions.
Hmm.
Or, you know, knowing when NOT to overshare...
Possible case of TMI.
But, once you’ve wowed them, you can invite them over to your place for dinner:
Yum.
Don’t worry - when you’re home alone, you can stick to what you know best.
Cereal is a FINE option for dinner, we’ll have you know.
In spite of your less than Nigella-esque cooking skills, you still panic about your weight 67% of the time…
But who doesn’t?
And, sure, sometimes, you turn to crazy diets for help.
Or spanx. Spanx features a LOT in your lingerie drawer.
Not the gym as much. The gym is a tough nut to crack.
So many eyes, so many sweat patches, so little time.
But, when you get right down to it, you KNOW you look good.
Yup, even in a strange and uncomfortable bunny costume.
Yes, that’s taking into account all of the inevitable makeup disasters…
Hey, we’ve all been there.
… and the bad hair days.
Seriously, though? PUT THE IRON DOWN!!!
… and the fact that strange things like this always seem to happen to you.
You’re just lucky like that.
**
So, yes, there are sad days sometimes…**
But you get through them, in your own special way.
And, yes, you can get a little carried away sometimes.
Only, when we say 'little', we mean 'a lot'. And, when we say 'sometimes', we mean 'all the times ever'.
And, yes, you make a tit of yourself nine times out of ten.
Nailed it.
And, yes, you sometimes spend Friday nights in your pyjamas, singing along to Magic FM.
"ALL BY MYSEEEEEEEEEELF!!!!!"
And FINE, yes, you can sometimes get a little down about your disastrous love life.
We've all been there, ladies.
But you know what? At least you know how to stand up for yourself:
Word.
And at least you can laugh in the face of embarrassment:
Most of the time, anyway.
And at least you're willing to call people out when they're being dks!**
Good trait, that one. We approve.
And at least you have VALUES, goddamn it!
Don't stop believing, Bridgets of the world!
**Because you know what? There's someone out there who will think you're perfect.
**
Just as you are.
Trust us on this one.
It’s going to be good.
