Why Marilyn Monroe and I would probably have been best friends.

Of course the obvious reason being we have so much in common…married men, dresses, make-up, high-heels…oh wait…yeah…we have nothing in common.  Physically.  Emotionally and mentally?  Soul sisters.  And how do I know this?  Please see her following quotes about really everything and I will explain…

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."--  I am one of the most unselfish people I know, however, I am working on trying to be more selfish…I have NO PATIENCE…depending on the time of the month I am MORE than a little insecure, I mess up all the time, I do have a short fuse and have on more than one occasion been told to get a hold of myself, but I 100% agree, if you can’t handle me through all that, you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.  And frankly, my best is amazing.

"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left."—This totally would’ve come in handy about 15 years ago, but I am learning.

"If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty."—Oh my hell, I swear she took the words right out of my mouth…I hate liars, I hate back stabbers…And whenever I am talking to such a person, I smile, because I think this in my head and it makes me happy.  Ha ha…ugly people…too funny…and women, these ugly women?  They should consider eating their make-up if they think wearing it on their face makes them pretty…maybe it will work on the inside, just saying…

"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."—You know that people usually say, oh, well if they are talking about me at least they aren’t talking about someone else…well, I feel this way…I by no means have a glamorous life, so if someone wants to break it down or judge it, I certainly do not give two craps…

"It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."—I have been both and yes it…there is no worse feeling in the world than unrequited love…nothing, and it is easier when I am unhappy with me, myself and I.

"Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."—Maybe you think this applies to more girly girls, but I love shoes.  So what if they are hiking all terrain shoes.  Shoes never became as important to me as they did in Hawaii and by the time I realized it, it was too late.  But I pretty much feel this way every day…my shoes, have to match my outfit, which usually has to match my ball cap, but some days, with the right shoes I could pretty much rule the world.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you’re not"—Duh.  I have been hated for so many things for so long it is not funny, but I can assure I have never been hated for being something I wasn’t.  I will never be hated for being a liar for instance…or a cheater…or a manipulator…you get what I am saying?

"No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't."—Oh, I am positive I was told I was pretty.  Every single time a dress was shoved on me, while being held down and screaming.  Or when Dee Dee wanted to play dress up and do my hair, days when I thought I might really die…but I do believe this…all little girls need to be told this.  Over and over and over. 

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."—Truly one of the best quotes ever spoken.  Good things fall apart all the time and I have yet to have that happen where something better didn’t take its place.

Last but not least, I will not even comment on this…it just is what it is…I imagine Marilyn and I sitting out by the pool, her drinking a Vodka Tonic, me a tumbler of whiskey, talking about all those hoity toity bitches she had to be around and solving all of the worlds problems…but at the end of the day, she really just was a human being…with an amazing depth of emotion and feelings and that is why I think she would have been my BFF.

"This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
