I spent most of my childhood trying to stand out.
I had 3 gorgeous older sisters, all brainy, all cheerleaders, all confident.
I, unfortunately, was overweight and refused to read until 2nd grade or so. When I finally caught up academically I was too scared to be social, so I hated everyone and everything that intimidated me. I wore bright red dickies to school and listened to awful music, just because none of my sisters did that.
I was too scared to try out for cheerleading or swim because I had such problems with my weight and how I looked.
I never went inside an Abercrombie or Aeropostale because that's where my sisters when and oh my gosh aren't they just soooo typical?
Well, last night I realized: I went to FHE and had a blast. Went longboarding to Blockbuster and had a blast. I'm blonde and work at a trendy burger place and I'm having a blast. I live in Provo, I love BYU, I'm wearing high heels and an outfit Kristina would love, and I'm having a blast.
Look at me, I'm typical.

Haha I was so ashamed to admit that I liked longboarding the first time I tried it! I'm glad we have that bond.
Sometimes everybody likes something because it is legitimately fun/cool, and not just because it's popular to like it.
Who knew, right?
p.s. watch out with outfits that Kristina would like, though. for real.
You will never be typical but I'm so glad you're happy. I love you!
That was Dyanna, not D. I fat fingered it.
