I guess this is more of an "about me" post instead of a first blog post. I don't know why I'm starting this. Blogging is certainly something I never pictured myself doing, but I just feel like this is what I need to do at this point in my life.

The reason I'm calling this "Born to Stand Out" is because of my favorite movie quote: Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you were born to stand out?" (What a Girl Wants) I never fit in when I was growing up. I wasn't the type of girl that would giggle, worry about her hair or make-up, or talk about boys, so none of the girls my age wanted to spend time with me. I didn't understand until later on that I wasn't born to fit in. I was born to stand out.
