Head up, shoulders back.

AND STRUT!

That's pretty much what one of my co workers told me to do the other day when there was a cute boy in the tea room.
Gotta love the co workers :)

I'm the youngest by I think 17 years is the next youngest girl.
They know I can find a date if I want to, but they help wherever they can. I'm the only one that is not in a committed relationship or really any relationship at this point in time.
And really i'm fine by myself.
I've realized i'm slowly turning into a hermit somewhat.
Or maybe i'm just finding my independence and actually liking being alone.
Who knows!

But the guys at the tea room are closer to my age so we joke around a lot.
Casey, Matt and Kieran.
Kieran is 15.5 years old and we are trying to set him up with any cute girl that really walks through the door.
Casey and Matt are a few years older than me.
Matt speaks french to me when he brings me tea and gives the best hugs.
Casey is a bit quieter, but just as much fun to hang around with, and I occasionally get hugs from him.
We are a good little bunch.

The other day after I had that long hard day smoozing we went out for drinks and then went to trivia night at Brew, which was a mother-loving blast!

But we joke around and have fun and then as soon as a horde of teenage girls come in we go full on secret stalker.
Its normal.

But when I was a child and still to this day, whenever I would slouch dad would say "sit up straight, shoulders back".
I hated doing this because it was so much more work in my mind.

But now I'm actually doing that.
I hold my head high and my shoulders are back when I walk down the street.
I have a presence.
I respect myself a hell of a lot more and hold myself in a higher value than I did even 6 months ago.

So if you ever feel like you are having a blah day.
Head up and shoulders back and just keep on going.

You'll like yourself more later.
