I am a seventeen year old girl who has never been asked to homecoming, never had a boyfriend, and to top off my resume, never been kissed. I’m as rare as they come, call me a unicorn if you’d like. But I’m writing this in order to tell you that I am perfectly okay with it.
Do you remember when you used to say that your first kiss was going to be this iconic moment in your life and you tried so hard to plan it to be the perfect moment? Now…how did that work out for you?
Your first kiss was probably in middle school, and even more disappointing, probably AT your middle school. Well, I still have that dream alive. I have the opportunity to change that for myself because I was looked upon as undesirable in middle school. Which is ridiculous because who wouldn’t want to date the thirteen year old me? People look back at their first kisses and wonder why they didn’t share it with someone they care about. Kisses are weird in general, because it will always be more special to one person than it is to the other. For example, whenever the day comes that I do kiss someone, it will be nothing to the guy I kiss other than just another girl and to me, it will be an important memory.
I’m not sure when it became a social standard to always have to be asked to school dances. I also don’t know when every girl who hadn’t been in a relationship was looked down upon as if they were a different species. The way a girl feels about herself in social standing should not be based on the people she is involved with.
