What your mother doesn't know

Good girls are a dying breed.

In declaring that, I am ready to delve into what being a good girl means.

I could be considered a good girl. At first glance, I look like a sweet innocent young lady with no qualms about society, and no idea of any corruption in this world.

But as I realized thanks to a very recent episode of mine, I cannot claim the innocent title.

Which is exactly why good girls are a rare breed.

I am not an extremist. And yet there have been several potholes along my journey that I have tripped over.

There is also a major difference between good girls, and girls that just have no clue what is going on. An ignorant girl doesn't know any different. A bad girl takes risks and has no regrets, or no time for regrets. A girl like me tries to be good, but sometimes wakes up in the morning with a serious wrenching feeling of something that I know was not in my nature.

A good girl may take risks, she may not. But either way she does not feel guilty for them, because she has not done something that has transgressed someone else's trust. And she is satisfied with her decisions.

Because in the end, trust is really what matters in almost every situation.

And what do people prefer? Either exactly what they are, or what they secretly wish to be.

Good girls are so rare because noone really knows what they want. Most of us make a few major mistakes that scar our memory. So to see someone that truly knows what they want, and never strays, is truly that one rare baseball card always seems to escape your gaze at the yard sale.

Are people like this happy? Or are they normal, in the sense that their lifestyle is all that they have ever known? I suppose that to judge one person according to another may be one of the biggest mistakes of the human race.
However, we need all sorts of people in this soup of a world.

In the circus of life, good girls are the tightrope walkers.

It's a shame I only learned the trapeze
