Good girl

I'm not a stickler for rules but I follow most of them. I don't do drugs but I don't necessarily frown on doing them. I haven't been intimate with anyone in a while but that doesn't mean I think being sexual or sexuality is wrong. I don't drink but that doesn't mean I snub my nose if you do. I say 'ma'am' and 'sir' as well as 'please and thank you' to people because it's polite and not because I live in the south.
I get up early so I can eat a proper breakfast so I can function at work and not because I like getting up early. I leave early so I can arrive on time because it's rude and disrespectful to arrive late.
I was raised to be conscientious, courteous and considerate. So, naturally, I behave as such.

I'm not a good girl. I'm a good person. Being a good girl implies things to me that I don't believe I fit. I'm not innocent, but I can be naive sometimes. I'm not going to brake a rule if I agree with it. I question things I don't agree with and ask questions to understand why something is the way it is. I believe everything we do and say matters so we need to act accordingly.

I'm not perfect, far from it, but I do try to be the best I can be. I want to be liked, admired and respected but I also will be true to myself regardless if others approve. Approval can be tedious and boring just as rejection can be painful and harmful. 

Don't call me a good girl and don't call me a bad girl. I'm not really either. I'm just me. I'm not 'good' because I follow rules anymore than I am 'bad' for swearing or wearing black nail polish. I'm just me.

I'll probably write more on this topic later but for now I just want to communicate that 'bad' and 'good' are foggy terms with meanings even more muddy.

If your actions are going to end in yourself or someone else being affected in a negative way then it's probably a 'bad' thing to do. Our actions are what define us and I want my actions to say positive things about me. What do your actions say?
