Never Just an Ordinary Girl
|
Never Just an Ordinary Girl One of the wonderful elements of music is the way it echoes your own feelings and experiences. Many, many years ago at age 14 I have a huge crush on an 18 year girl I was assigned to train during a summer job. Unfortunately, she didn’t seem to be attracted to 5 foot, 2 inch, peach fuzzed faced boys but nonetheless I adored being around her. She was totally unlike any of the girls in my class. She was very down to earth, very smart and had a wonderful quirky sense of humor. She was quite attractive but seemed to go to great lengths to conceal it. I was terribly shy and uncomfortable talking to girls at that point in life and yet with her, it was totally different. Many years later I found the song Hard Candy by the Counting Crows uncovered lingering remnants of my crush from many years past. It goes, On certain Sundays in November When the weather bothers me I empty drawers of other summer's Where my shadows used to be She is standing by the water As her smile begins to curl In this or any other summer She is something altogether different Never just an ordinary girl. It was one of those songs that, when I closed my eyes, it took me back to a certain place. I could vividly see her standing in her navy blue one piece at the swimming hole where the whole gang went after work to cool down. She was glaring at me with a half wry smile, half scowl for trying to push her in. But there was a look in her eyes, one I probably didn’t fully understand at 14 and may not yet. It is one of those visual images that will last a life time. As I examined it more, it occurred to me how that early crush had formed my perceptions of the qualities I still find attractive in women later in life. I adore women with a little quirkiness in their sense of humor. If you’ll pardon the term, I think brainy girls are totally hot. I treasure a woman with an aura of playfulness and a lighthearted approach to life. In a world where we are gender groomed to be a certain way and where we are constantly evaluated by ourselves and others against those impossible standards, it is a wonderful breath of fresh air to find someone totally comfortable being “altogether different”. I am so privileged that my horizons have been so expanded by personally investing in women I find interesting. Exploring the things that make them extraordinary such as reading books by their favorite authors, exploring poetry they have quoted, and listening to new types of music. But more than that it just being around them and sharing as they find a deeper beauty or deeper meaning I may have otherwise missed, or finding the humor that is only apparent through their slightly skewed prism of the world. The things that make you different make you extraordinary. |

Sometimes those people you see and admire are not always ones that have the most perfect life. Often times they are ones hiding things. Always be yourself

Isn't it wonderful to emulate that which you draws you in? And from just the bit I know of you...you have succeeded...you are like them. Have a great day. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN HAPPINESS!! (MY LIFE'S PHILOSOPHY)

Thanks for the sweet comment. The girl I refer to above has a lot do with the way I see people. She came from a very successful family and yet when you were with them, they were all about you. Discovering how much joy they experienced and created by sharing such a genuine interest in another person was a great reward. I didn't meet her family until the end of the summer but I remember thinking "I want to be like them".
