Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game

Wow. Okay. Not sure how exactly this is supposed to start but let’s just jump right into it with a little introduction shall we? I am your not-so-average twenty something year old female who is living her best life. Living a life full of “hell yeah” moments. From the outside looking in, people might disagree with my beliefs and actions, but this is how I look at it: I’m living what are supposed to be the best years of my life. I want to make them fun, DUH. So yeah, I tend to do lots of fun stuff and often don’t think twice about the hearts I’ve broken or the people I’ve disappointed along the way. I must admit, although I wish I was, I wasn’t always like this. It took escaping a long, surface level relationship for me to open up and become this person.

Some of you are probably thinking “Why so bitchy?” right? Well, it’s not bitchy. If you think about it, society has become twisted enough where it’s more acceptable for males to behave a certain way than it is for females, and that’s not something I agree with. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not your typical feminist who believes in not wearing a bra and that periods are beautiful things that should be embraced & excessive other hippy things. No, definitely not me. I wouldn’t even refer to myself as a feminist to be completely honest. I’m just living with a “screw it” mentality and loving every single moment of it.

Honestly, I consider my mentality to be so different from the average Indo-Canadian female’s. It might be because I’ve been hurt one too many times by the moronic males I let into my life on a romantic basis, or it might just be because I have always been surrounded by male friends. Since as far back as I can remember I’ve had more male friends than female ones. I mean, yeah, we all have our core group of girl friends—and I love mine so much. But when I consider my closest friends, the ones I spend the majority of my time with, most of them are dudes and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I have heard some horror stories when it comes to conflicting situations between females, and I’d much rather steer clear of that unnecessary crap. Plus, with male friends I feel like there’s just way less judgment, and who can complain about that?

Through my posts on Vocal, hopefully you’ll get a more clear understanding of what exactly I mean, because I feel like the description I just provided about myself was about as clear as mud. I’m not exactly sure where I’ll go with this, but what I do know is that I find myself jokingly telling my friends, “I need to write a damn book” when certain events occur within my life. Sometimes they even beat me to the punch and say it first. It’s just a small running joke, but I decided to actually see where I could go with it, hence the creation of this account. I’m here to get my feet wet a little, and hopefully it actually takes off because doing something like this has always been a dream of mine.

I’ve decided to write under a pseudonym, and to change the names of the people I mention within my posts. Just because I live carelessly doesn’t mean I don’t value my privacy, ya feel me? Maybe one day I’ll be comfortable disclosing my identity, but for now let’s just leave it this way. It adds a little more fun to this whole thing too!

Let’s do this, shall we?
