The Good Girl

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

I’m one of those girls. You know, those girls who are too innocent to understand “milf.” Those girls who have it easy, because they merely give up what they have never experienced. Those girls who aren't invited to parties because they don’t want to get drunk. Those girls a guy flees from when he discovers they're waiting until marriage.

Yes, I’m that girl. A good girl.

Our culture often discusses how the bad girl leads a troubled life (rightfully so), but does that mean the challenge of the good girl should be ignored? The truth about us – us good girls – is that we’re built of steel. We look like kittens on the outside, but fight like lions on the inside.

We have to.

Our society hates us. Our media criticizes us. Our peers make fun of us. To a certain extent, we give up popularity, friends, guys… We give up what we want to be to strive for what we should be. We say “no” on so many levels to cry “yes” to something we see as better.

So this is for you, good girls: 

Never give up, chicas. We’re going against the tide, because there are some things gravity can’t touch. We are more than meets the eye - and if everyone underestimates us, that just means we can surprise them.  

Sometimes it takes more strength to be good than to be bad. To smile than to cry. To be vulnerable than to be strong.
