Me.

So, it just hit me lately that I'm an adult. I mean, like...I am full blown fully grown Shara Janelle Lewis. WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!

And...that's so ...weirdly lame. I mean, I know as I was growing up, I spent a lot of time wondering what I'd be like when I was "18" (OH BOY WATCH OUT) Or...what I'd look like when I was finally an ADULT. I guess I got through the awkward years because of the knowledge that ONE DAY I was going to just magically POP out of it and be this glamorously gorgeous adult Shara. Umm...that never actually happened. Ya know how you watch E True Hollywood Story and you see all the stars when they were little and they were heinous looking...and now they're like insanely fabulous. Yeah, I always thought that was going to happen to me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was watching America's Next Top Model (LOVE) and I just realized that those girls are like 18 and 19...WHAT?!?!? What..what...what...I mean, to tell you the truth, I was still kinda banking on that to happen to me lately...until it just hit me that I'm like an adult now. I'm almost 19...that's almost 20. There are no more growth spurts left. I have been dealt the cards of a decently short woman of 5'4''. I will never be a 6' tall runway model. I will always be at the end of the line in line-ups and in the front row of pictures.

My acne that my parents swore to me I would eventually "Grow out of" ...MIGHT NEVER GO AWAY! ( oh, Lord have mercy)

My metabolism that has been in a coma for the past 18 years is only going to get SLOWER. This is my peak condition...and I'm not that hott. LAME

My curly hair is never going to magically be straight.

My boobs are never going to be big. They just aren't. Without a decent bra, I will always look like a prepubescent boy... until I'm pregnant...but, then after that, they'll just deflate and sag anyway. So, basically, i don't win.

That day that I magically wake up a beautiful swan and every man is like "Hubba hubba Shara Lewis" ...is never going to happen. I will always wake up looking like death and guys find me slightly (if not entirely) off in one way or another.

So...hmm...yeah, this is me.

This is what I've been given. This is what I got.

...and I'm gonna rock it.

I choose to rock my stuff for the rest of my life.

and you should too.

and if you randomly woke up one day and were gorgeous...I hate you.

not really. I don't hate anyone.

But, yeah, a little part of me hates you.:)


Love Always,
