Best friend Quote by Ritu Ghatourey
“I'm the kinda girl who is 'one of the guys' the one who is always there for everyone else when they need it. the one who puts others before herself. I'm the kinda girl who would rather be in sweats, big tee's and no make up at school, but dresses up because its what people expect of her. i'm the kinda girl, who regrets little things from the past, like not joining a sports team. i'm the kinda girl who loves her sports, but also loves getting dressed all fancy and acting like a princess. I'm the kinda girl who everyone knows her name, but nobody takes the time to know her. the one everyone sees walking with her one best friend and they all just stare. I'm the kinda girl who can be hurt, but will take time to make someone else happy, even though she cant make herself. i'm the kinda girl who acts all tough, but is really not as tough as you think. the girl that jokes around, but sometimes likes to be serious. the kinda girl who acts like things dont bug her or hurt her, just so people dont think they are actually bothering her. the kinda girl who can take so much pain, and bottles it all up inside her. i'm the quiet one of my girl friends, but with my guy friends I'm the loud one. I'm the girl that is afraid of rejection and denial, but yet risks so much. the kinda girl that you wouldnt realize what goes on at home, because at school she has a smile on her face. I'm the kinda girl who just wishes some things would change. the one that wants something different and new. and is sick of bulls**t. - awwpoo.”
