Yes, I'm that girl. During my years of trying to discover who I am I tried on multiple roles and preppy girl next door was one of them. At that time I fit that mold beautifully. I was a nanny for a wealthy family and it was expected. I'm grateful for that experience. As a result I acquired impeccable manners, grace, poise, and charm.
I still possess those same traits but the real me is not in any way preppy. I am me. Finally in my late thirties I am comfortable in my own skin. Do I have tattoos? Yes, because each one means something to me. I wear black nail polish. I think it's classy. I almost always wear black-not because I'm morbidly sad but because it's who I am. I love who I am today. I love my life.
So while I appear to be an Angelina Jolie, I'm actually a mixture of all past roles. There is no one mold fits all. People are often surprised when they get to know me. They discover that the girl with the tattoos is smart and has a great sense of humor. The point is you truly can't judge a book by its cover. The pages inside might surprise you.
