I'm sorry..

I'm sorry that I'm not pretty enough for your standards.
I'm sorry that I don't dress in tight, revealing clothing.
I'm sorry that everything I own isn't by Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Cabana, Club Monaco, Nike or Le Chateau.
I'm sorry I don't wear make-up that makes me look like a whore.
I'm sorry that I choose not to wear earings or bracelets, or paint my nails.
I'm sorry if those make you think I am less of a girl.
I'm sorry that I choose to watch the television shows I do.
I'm sorry that I choose not to listen to NSync, Britney Spears or LFO.
I'm sorry that I like people who can actually sing.
I'm sorry that I'm not a crackhead or a pothead.
I'm sorry that I don't smoke.
I'm sorry that I don't drink every weekend, puke my guts out, and wake up with a hangover thinking I had an awesome time.
I'm sorry that I make FRIENDS on the internet.
I'm sorry that I don't blend into the crowds.
I'm sorry that I work hard to get good grades.
I'm sorry that you don't get them because you never work for them.
I'm sorry that an 80% isn't good enough for me.
I'm sorry that I choose to plan what I will do for the rest of my life.
Most of all:
I'm sorry that I can make decisions for myself.
I'm sorry that I choose to live my life the way I do.
I'm sorry that you have trouble accepting this.
I'm sorry, but this is me.
