Little Miss

via

If you have been reading for while then you know that I am a very independent, sometimes fearless, don't like being told what to do with my life...especially by boys. {see here, here, & here}  I am not one to generally follow the crowd.  I like making decisions for myself.  I am not afraid to tell you how I feel about most things.  I care for the people around me, and you better watch out if you hurt one of those people.  I was raised with manners and respect; if you don't have them, I will still treat you like you do.
Basically, I am all three.

This leads me to one of my new favorite songs...
Sugarland's "Little Miss"

For some reason these lyrics just "speak" to me...

Little Miss done on love, (I was for awhile) 
Little Miss I give up, (Sometimes you have to realize when to stop fighting for something, especially if their is no one fighting for you)
Little Miss I'll get tough, don't you worry 'bout me anymore (I have learned to have tough skin through the years)

Little Miss checkered dress, 
Little Miss one big mess, (Story of my life)
Little Miss I'll take less when I always knew so much more (Seems like I am always the one giving, especially in my last relationship)

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, 
Yeah, sometimes ya gotta lose 'til ya win, (When does the winning start?)
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, 
It'll be alright again, it'll be alright again

I'm okay, It'll be alright again, I'm okay (okay) It'll be alright again, I'm okay

Little Miss do your best, (I try at least)
Little Miss never rest, (Tired is my middle name...)
Little Miss, be my guest, I'll make more anytime it runs out

Little Miss you'll go far, (I'm planning on it...not sure where far will be)
Little Miss hide your scars, (I am such an internalist and always have been)
Little Miss who you are is so much more than you like to talk about

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, 
Yeah, sometimes ya gotta lose 'til ya win, 
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, 
It'll be alright again, it'll be alright again, (If if it not alright, then it is not the end)
I'm okay, It'll be alright again, I'm okay (okay) It'll be alright again, I'm okay

Hold on, hold on, you are loved, are loved (My momma loves me)

Little Miss brand new start, 
Little Miss do your part, 
Little Miss big ole heart beats wide open, she's ready now for love (I am ready!)

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, 
Yeah, sometimes ya gotta lose 'til ya win, 
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, 
It'll be alright again, it'll be alright again
I'm okay, It'll be alright again, I'm okay (okay) It'll be alright again, I'm okay, 
It'll be alright again

Soulfully,
