Dear Skinny Jeans,
I feel like a five-year-old child when I'm with you. I'm giddy and silly anytime you're near. I like that feeling. My on-and-off boyfriend (AKA Pig Meat) of so many years made our relationship a job. Someone I had to work to keep around. I had to keep up an act for him to want to be with me. The spongebob watching, doughnut obsessed, musical theatre nerd that I really am would have never been good enough. Around you, I am all that and more goofy things and you continue to ask me to hang out. You also say things like "we're soul mates" or "you're cute when you giggle" or my favorite "when I take you on dates this summer..." Excuse me Skinny Jeans, but what exactly am I supposed to think about those comments? I'm not all that girly, but need I remind you, I am a woman. Therefore I am entitled by default to drastically think further into things than you probably have. For example, because of your comments and I have now envisioned the next 30 years for us and let me tell you, it is looking great. Our three children, our two pugs and our house on a horse farm are just awaiting us in the not so distant future. I hope that doesn't scare you. You better be careful though, Skinny Jeans. I'm getting pretty attached. I'm in what I like to call the "Infatuation Stage" because let's face it, I'm so infatuated with you. Now when I'm with my best friends, I don't even feel like I'm having fun because I'd rather be with you. Hopefully, that feeling goes away. I can't believe it was only months ago that we weren't even friends. I must admit Skinny Jeans, you were invisible to me until this year. Three years of knowing you and I never really noticed your presence in my life until this year. Now your presence in my life is all I can think about. I regret all the wasted years I spent on Pig Meat when you were there all along. I wish I could get a do-over. Lastly, Skinny Jeans, you're awesome. You're smart and goofy and random and sarcastic and childish and wonderful. I really wouldn't change anything about you. Minus the fact that you wear skinny jeans. You look better in normal pants. For the record, I'm falling so in like with you and I want to date you so hard. Please learn to read minds because I will never repeat this information to you.
Love
Your Favorite Ginger
I love this song. Makes me think of Skinny."It's funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one that needed saving.When you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving."
I'm not sure where you are on the college major decision. Hopefully AP English hasn't totally quashed your interest in becoming an English teacher. Anyways, I just want to encourage you to try to make room for a creative writing course or two along the way. I think you'd like it and you would excel.
