So I have to be honest...this wasn't an original idea. I have to credit my friend and housemate Laura. She was talking about jeans and how finding a pair of jeans is kind of like finding a man. It may take a while and you may have to try on a lot of pairs, but when you find them, they are usually perfect.
I kind of laughed at this idea. But I went shopping today and I needed a pair of jeans. Normally that is a process that I hate doing, because I have to try on a million pairs and often don't even find a pair. Today was different, I walked into the store, determined to find a pair of jeans. I found a pair that was the right wash and right size, however I didn't want to get my hopes up. It seemed too perfect that these jeans would fit, I never have that kind of luck. However, I tried them on and they were amazing. They fit perfectly, not too tight, not too loose. They made my butt look awesome and were very slimming. Even the fitting room attendant commented on how they looked. I had to get them. It was so painless.
So after I paid for them I started thinking about what Laura had said. I never find jeans this easily, and I don't find good guys easily. They usually aren't interested, or there is something wrong with them. Or they stick around for a little bit, then split. What I'm trying to say is, I try on a lot of "jeans" and still haven't found that right pair. So what if this is a sign, a sign that the winds are changing for me. Hell, it's almost a new year, I'm 22 now. Last year was a big change for me, what will the new year bring? Suddenly Laura's crazy idea, didn't seem so crazy. Will I find my perfect pair of "jeans?" Will I get to stop trying on every pair that I see (ok so that's a pretty exaggerated metaphor, but the concept still holds true).
So Laura, you and your crazy idea about jeans got to me.....and to be honest, I kind of like it.
