You were born a daughter, You looked up to you mother.
You looked up to everyone.

You wanted to be a princess, You wanted to own a horse.
You wanted your brother to be a horse.

You wanted to wear pink, You never wanted to wear pink.

You wanted to be a veterinarian, You wanted to be the president.  You wanted to be the president’s veterinarian.

You were picked last for the team, You were not picked for the team.  You were the best one on the team.  You refused to be on the team.

You wanted boys to notice you, You were afraid the boys would notice you.

You wouldn’t wear a bra, You couldn’t wait to wear a bra. You couldn’t fit into a bra.

You started to get acne, You started to get breasts.  You started to get acne that was bigger than your breasts.

You didn’t like the way you looked, You didn’t like the way your parents looked.

You didn’t want to grow up, You couldn’t wait to grow up.

You had your f8irst best friend, You had your first date.  You spent hours on the phone

You got kissed, You got to kiss back.

You went to the prom, You didn’t go to the prom.  You went to the prom with the wrong guy.

You wanted to go to college, You didn’t want to go to college.  You couldn’t afford college.

You lost your best friend, You lost your other best friend.  You lost your love to your best friend.

You really fell in love....You became a steady girlfriend.  You became a significant other.  You became significant to yourself.

You became a wife...You became a mother....You became a woman.

Sooner or later, you start to take yourself seriously:
You know when you need a break.  You now when you need a rest.  You know what to get worked up about, what to get rid of, and what’s worth to allow getting the best of you.  And you know when it’s time to take care of yourself, for yourself, to do something that makes you stronger, faster, more complete.

Because you know it’s never to late to live life, and never too late to change one.
