“If you ever feel like giving up, just remember there’s a little girl watching who wants to be just like you. Don’t disappoint her.”
I love this quote soo much!
This quote is my all time favorite, not only because it's true but also because it totally suits me.
As a little girl I always looked up to older girls, I always wished I could be like them, they were so pretty and so big and did such cool things, like going to parties and having boyfriends and stuff like that. (I think we all had that trainee in kindergarten who was soo beautiful and we wanted to be like her so badly, didn't we?)
As a little girl I thought that being a 16 year old girl would be really amazing, I would have a great group of friends which I would hang out in the park with all the time, a boyfriend who was really handsome, sweet and funny, and I would have amazing parties all the time.
Well...
In real life it's kinda different:
I do have great friends (that I love so much), but not in one big group (school friends and friends from the town I live in + loner friends (you know, those friends that you see alone and not in a group)) and we definitely don't hang out in the park. When we are together we just sit at one of our houses and chat, watch movies and just have fun (I'm not going to lie about the fact that we may or me not drink some alcohol together sometime *winkemoji* ).
I don't have a boyfriend either. Why not? Well I wish I knew so I could do something about it. Hahahaha no, I'm just kidding, I'm not hopelessly waiting for a boy to come to me, sometimes you just have to wait.
The one thing that actually happens are the parties. Here in this small town in The Netherlands we have something amazing called: carnaval. STOP. No it's not like Brazilian carnaval, it's not even in summer. Carnaval means 6 days of celebrating. What do we celebrate? Well actually we don't celebrate it in the original way anymore but originally it are the last days before lent, and it's amazing. Imagine being in a pub for 6 days with all your friends while dressed up in your weirdest clothes (like halloween but not scary) , drinking beer and dancing to dutch party music; that's carnaval.
Back to the quote:
When I first read this quote I realized that when I grew up, I slowly changed roles, I changed from the little girl who looked up to older girls, into an "old" girl which little girls could probably look up to, without even noticing it.
And that's why I love this quote so much, it makes you realize how important it can be to watch what you do in front of little girls, because they can see you as a role model and they then want to be you.
