"She Refused to be Bored, Chiefly because She Wasn't Boring."~Zelda Fitzgerald

love that quote.

Someone told me the other day that there is a Taylor Swift part of me and then there is a Kings of Leon part of me. (Mom--Kings of Leon is a rock band. :)) And i thought it was funny. Partly because i find it to be true. Upon further examination, there are different facets of my personality that are as different as Taylor Swift is from Kings of Leon. There's this gentle, more innocent part of me and then there is the fierce part of me....the dragon slayer if you will. He helped me to see that this isn't a bad thing--it's a good thing, if you choose to embrace both parts. And i believe that i do.

I found a website through Katie that the Taylor Swift side of me identifies with--

"[your name]...

views the world through rose colored glasses. loves to throw dinner parties, but has been known to burn the roast. values eccentricity over convention. is the first to laugh at her own bad jokes. knows the cha-cha, the charleston, and the tango. paints her nails bright coral when she's feeling blue. is infinitely curious. could happily live off of red velvet cake. pens hand written notes to her grandmother. (ehhh---i should, atleast). secretly thinks she may be Babe Paley reincarnated. received an ipad for her birthday, but will never give up her library card. has a bucket list a mile long and dreams a dime a dozen. is smart, but never a show-off. listens to the day's forecast, but trusts her own intuition. never says no to a sunday matinee at the theater. is quick to blush, but never short of a witty reply. has a skip in her step and a twinkle in her eye. always shares her last piece of gum. "

I just love that. I don't identify with all of it--but gah i want to. It just makes me want to stay in this empowered place--this place that tries to keep hold of serenity...this place of knowing who i am. Embracing who i am. Whose i am. And being okay with it. Maybe that's what my 20s are supposed to be for. Discovering myself. So, today i take a page from Zelda Fitzgerald--of the roaring 20s--and attempt to become a more interesting person--in my 20s.
