Not So Athletic, But Still Talented

The inspiration from my blog came from a conversation I had with a salesperson last week.  It seems like every conversation since my college years begins with "did you play basketball?", just because I have a 35 inch inseam doesn't mean I played basketball...or volleyball, or lets be honest any sports at all.  I sure tried though! In 9th grade I got second place in a golf tournament, the fact that there were only two people competing is irrelevant.  I was also a volleyball bench warmer.  It's wasn't that bad actually, since I didn't play I didn't sweat therefore; my hair looked the best at the end of the game ;) I think sports are great, I do enjoy watching them.  If I tell you I walked into a water fountain the other day you may understand my lack of coordination... I wasn't even texting. Before my readers begin to think this is me dogging high school sports its not.  What I want to get across today is whether your a tomboy, a girly girl, or somewhere in between, that's exactly who your suppose to be.  I HATE when girls pretend to be into a team or a player to impress a boy.  Like seriously there going to figure you out eventually. There's a reason you are the way you are, and that's why you shouldn't change it.  Next time you start a conversation, instead of starting with "did you play sports?" try "what do you like to do on your spare time?".  The salesperson only got a small glance of my non athletic self.  What he didn't know was that I make an award winning pecan pie, I can turn a saver's find into a hot new outfit, and I'm full of random knowledge.  Just be yourself everybody!
