Dear Independents,
We all have friends in our lives that are revised versions of ourselves. You know that friend that you find yourself most alike. You both think alike, you finish each other’s sentences, you both prefer the same $5.99 bottle of wine, your strengths might be different but your weaknesses are all the same. The friend you lean on when the going gets tough because you know they are going to tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. They are always first to call you out on your mistakes, but only because you both have made them. The friend in your life that’s your trade-in model, the next year’s edition, always one foot ahead, never quick to judge but fast to challenge you. It’s like real-life Mysize Barbie. She’s your height, you both have pretty hair, you both play hard-to-get with Ken and wear the same fashions-but at the end of the day she’s the one that gets to sit in that fabulous mini pink convertible.
On my life’s bumpy road, paved with glitter and rhinestones, this friend for me is Jacquelynn Chambers. Not only did Jacq reinvent my life as a born-again princess but she has popped bottles of life I never knew exsisted. Not only have I gained novels of advice from her but she has witnessed firsthand, every ridiculous-ness on my memory’s self over the past two years. Not to mention the countless hours spent in a tanning bed trying to persuade my skin that bronzed is in, just to hold my own. Together: I learned to walk in her heels; (literally), dated a summer bromance duo and found my inner diva, hiding all along in the VIP sections fully stocked bar.
Needless to say-the fabulous life comes quick when she is around, so I want to take this moment to share a bit of wisdom from my real-life Barbie. If you are single or even if you are in one of those “somethings” this is about to blow your mind.
The Independent Girls Dating Game
-Created and perfected by Jacquelynn Chambers
Objective: “Do those boys like they use’t do you, if you pimp them I congratulate you.”-Beyonce
Number of players: As many as you can rotate
For ages- when the phrase “I’m single and ready to mingle” falls into your vocabulary
Now for the instrutions, this can be easily explained with the use of a metaphor… the independent girl’s game is easily compared to a stove-top with multiple burners and depending on how profesh you get the more pots you can have on it.
Basically girls it’s simple, men are pots and your dating life is a stove. … You have pots (men) on the back burners, simmering and you have pots on the front burners, boiling. You never want the pots in the back to think you forgot about them, so you bring them up to the front every once in awhile for a stir. On-the-other-hand you don’t want the pots on the front burners to get to cocky and boil over… so you move them to the back for some slow cooking. It’s all about rotating your pots… never let one stay on the same burner for too long or it might get over cooked or even worse-cold. You gotta mix it up, switch your pots, add some spice, stir it up and when the contents of your pots start to get bland… it’s out with the old in with the new.
With Love and Pots
