Happy new month and happy weekend everyone. I hope you all are doing just right. This weekend’s another opportunity to share our stories and do our bit of self-reflection courtesy of @galenkp who gives us a variety of more than interesting topics to select from.
Imagine you have a second personality, which would be the coolest, most attractive to the opposite sex and basically the best version, the real you or the alternate you? Which would be the good version and which the bad?
Now, when I said I was going to do this, I knew it would pose a challenge but I was also sure it would be fun. Especially for someone who conveniently holds thirty minutes conversations with herself. Or in this case, her other self, and not get bored. In fact, she not only gets to have great conversations with this other self while being entertained immensely, but she also learns a thing or two.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, my very own alter ego, Tessa🖤. A round of applause please, I can assure you, it’s far from easy to be able to contain this girl. I’ll let you in on everything about this lady in a bit so keep an open mind and try not to fall in love, if you can.
First off, she has a great walking step. I can confidently say that the reason guys find Tessa so attractive is because of the way she walks. Not just because she told me, I've seen it. It’s light but it’s also intense. Sweet but also daring. Intimidating but also easygoing. She walks like she’s got everything under control. And the truth is, she actually does. Guys stare at her for hours, because her confidence is like a magnet, pushing you to notice her whether or not you want to. She’s not constantly teased for always walking with a shoulder very much to one side or like she’s tired of life and just wants to find a comfy bed to crash on.
Another attractive thing about Tessa is her positive attitude to life. She believes in life and she believes in love and all those good things. She’s always having a smile on her face because she has so many things to be thankful for. Her smile is infectious. It subconsciously pushes you to momentarily forget your problems and just let that smile overwhelm you. She’s not cynical and constantly walking with a perpetual frown on her face. She doesn't take scowling as a job and she doesn’t literally…..(oh, this is so embarrassing to say) growl when a guy stares at her too long.
Oh, and another thing. My, is that lady fit! She doesn’t joke about her physical fitness at all. She’s a walking, breathing, fitness commercial. Like, you just see her and mentally start finding gyms close to your house or booking fitness instructors. Whatever gender you identify with, you MUST turn when she passes and you can’t even explain why. She doesn’t stuff herself sick with burgers and numerous sweets every day, she eats….healthy. (Such a smarty pants, that one. Smh)
And lastly, she’s emotionally secure. She’s open-minded and doesn’t subconsciously judge. She doesn’t build walls around herself when she comes across a guy. She doesn’t shut off her emotions and makes herself unapproachable. She believes that being vulnerable to a person isn’t a sign of weakness but of strength. She doesn’t conform to the belief that one bad experience can make you jaded for life. When shit hits the fan, she does fall. But she doesn’t stay down, she stands up and tries again.(Like, why do you have to be all sunshine and rainbows, for real?)
Anyways, that’s Tessa. I know. She's a paragon. She’s everything Treasure is not, but wants to be. She’s everything I work towards becoming. She does constantly taunt me for not living up to her standards, but between you and me, she knows I’ll get there eventually. There are no good and bad versions between us. I’m the good version and she’s the way better version.
I might get there. Or maybe I won’t. But she’s got my back... I guess.❤️
