Welcome to the journey of one of those girls

I'm one of the many girls you'll see on the city. A fashion addict in her 20’s, walking confidently while crossing over a busy street on a crazy weekday afternoon. I'm on of those girls that project high self esteem and signs of success and you might think that I probably work at some great company with a huge number on my paycheck at the end of each month. I'm one of those girls that sometimes have what you call a bitchy face, and seem unapproachable. But sometimes you'll also see me smiling and you wish you knew why I seem so happy, because it's probably about something really cool.

I'm one those those girls tv shows and novels are about. I'm the cool kid, I'm the person you want to be. Because when you see me in the city, you recognize this girl your favorite book when you were a teenager was about. The way I walk, talk, eat, shop and the lifestyle I project when I wonder around with my Starbucks coffee cup in one hand, and a to-die-for bag in the other, is what you have been told is a sign of self accomplishment. How many times have you wished to be me? Be honest with yourself, it happened at least once. All the magazines and other media tell you that I, the cool, fashionable girl who crosses the street with my coffee, am the perfect example of lifestyle and great taste.

And I won't lie to you, I like being that way. I like getting my coffee in my pretty clothes and high heels, knowing that what I'm doing is considered as a sign of success. 
In a very shallow way, though. Because of course, what you never, ever see when a girl like me is crossing the street after she got her coffee, is where she is actually going. And I'll tell you the truth: I don’t work in a fancy fashion or Marketing company. Actually, I don't have a job at all. I am currently a student with a half completed degree in a subject that won't lead me anywhere near what you think I'm doing, when I walk on the street in my pretty shoes. 

So here it is. The truth about those girls walking in the city. Or at least one of those girls. I project an image you envy, because I myself grew up with it, and acting like this comes very naturally to me. I'm not faking it, but it's only who I am on the outside, literally. On the inside, I'm on a difficult and not always fun journey to finding myself and accomplish something good in my life. And I want you to take with me, so you can see what's behind the Starbucks coffee cup and the fashionable handbag. I want you to see what's behind the apparent confidence and good self esteem. I want you to share my struggle, and see who I really am. Because when you meet somebody, you shouldn't be talking about your favorite shop or where to get coffee. Sure, you have that in common, but if you dig dipper, you'll find out very similar fears and doubts, and pains coming from the same spot. As teenage girls, we're told that this is cool to do when we grow up. And we do it, but we forget what's really important. Being happy, surround yourself with people you love, and most important of all, not being afraid of admitting fears, struggles and failures.

I want to take you on my journey because I haven't learned how to do it all yet. And as I do, you might get inspired to let it go with me. If you're one of those girls (or boys) that is walking on a busy street, in a big city, on a crazy weekday afternoon, with no actual place to go, come here, sit with me for a while, and share my journey. Because together we have better chances to learn faster from our mistakes and get stronger.

Come with me on the unique journey of a girl like many you saw crossing the street.
