I am a big fan of the movie "Mean Girls" but I think the ending was stupid. We all know those mean girls sometimes are always mean girls, even after they get hit by a bus. And I have to admit, I am sometimes a very mean girl. I once saw a Christian speaker talking about how women look another woman up and down and make a judgement within seconds of them walking in the room. A few weeks ago I commented on FB about a fashion statement that was way beyond bad. I have to say, I saw another one today....pants are never made to be tucked into socks.. EVER! But I am often reminded of that speaker, "What's it to you?" Calling me out on my mean girl ways.
Why are women like this? Is it to make ourselves feel better about who we are? I admit I do not like who I am alot of times... but, I try to balance it out.
I work with alot of women. For the most part we all get along which is amazing but I think it is also because we are too busy working or hot flashing to be too mean. I really like all the women I work with. They all have made me laugh until I cried which is the best way into my heart. And in the past few years they have lifted me up in some really crummy times...I will miss them when I go to the high school. (Which will be full of mean girls... middle school is just their training ground...ugh!)
So I guess I need to keep asking myself, "What's it to you?" and then keep answering myself, "It is nothing to me so I should just shut up...even if what I say is pretty damn funny, it is still hurtful and mean."
And I do need to be careful, there are alot of buses in my life.
