Girls just wanna have fun. I'm no exception.

I like my coffee black, my whiskey neat, and my hands and heart free. So sue me.

I'm not a girl that likes being tied down. I don't like limits, or boundaries, or chains. I don't like being told that I can't. I don't like being restricted. But I think that's natural.

I'm a free spirit in most ways. I can be a little reserved given the right circumstances, but I'm innately the kind of girl who goes wherever the wind blows her. I take whatever life gives me and I run with it. As fast as I possibly can.

I have no fear of falling, unless it's in love. That may be the one thing that truly shakes me to my core. Just the thought of being thrown into that whirlwind of emotions gives me the sensation that I'm slowly and gradually being suffocated.

I'm just not a relationship girl. Honestly, I never really have been. The idea of commitment has always made me flee immediately.

Of course, I've had my fair share of relationships. But they either were short lived or long distance, which kept the men I dated always at arms length, just as I liked them. They were never close enough for long enough to ever become the "real deal."

And, yes, I've been in love, too. Once. It happened at a point in my life when I needed that kind of closeness, stability, and support. And then that time was over. And so was that relationship. It was a time of desperation and utter weakness. It was what I needed at the moment, not forever.

I'm the kind of girl who, really, just wants to have fun. I'm too consumed with my own dreams and aspirations and goals to get caught up in romance. My work has always been my biggest commitment. I become married to it. I'm career minded. It's just who I am. And a man just doesn't quite work into that equation.

Yes, I love men. Of course, I do. But I love them for a moment or from afar. Where they can't touch me or distract me or control me.

Maybe one day I'll walk down an aisle sprinkled with rose petals in a white dress. Maybe, but not any time in the near future. I'm too young for that. I could change my mind. I know that. However, for right now, my mind is made up. This girl just wants to run free. Is that so wrong?
