Delany Sharp - D11 - 77th CB - FIN

When you were young, you were told that you were going to be the wife of someone who could give you a wonderful life.  You needed this in order to survive.  You needed to want it.  Love it.  Love him no matter what.

Your mother gave you a set of ten rules to live by when you were in the presence of him.

Old Rules:

One: Do what you are told.

Two: Sit still, look pretty.

Three: You should have listened to your mama.

Four: Be a good girl for the people that will make take care of you one day.

Five: Never bite the hand that feeds you.

Six: Always say please and thank you.

Seven: Tell everyone about how much you love them.

Eight: Brag.  To anyone that will listen.

Nine: You are not special, you can be replaced in minutes.

Ten: Its never okay to let go.

However, you realized quickly that this was not something you were interested in.  You fell in love with a girl who told you that you were a diamond in the rough.  However, you were still dating him, until you told your mother that this wasn’t what you wanted.  So she threw you out.

Your girlfriend gave you ten new rules to live by, ones that were amended from your heinous mother.

New Rules:

One: Say what you need to say, about whoever you want.

Two: Stand up, fight for yourself.

Three: Your mother didn’t love herself enough.

Four: Be a good girl for only yourself.  No one else.  Don’t worry about other people.

Five: Always bite the hand that feeds you, its probably scraps or toxic.

Six: Always say please and thank you, to the people that deserve it.

Seven: Just tell everyone you love them.

Eight: Be humble.  Be Proud.  Hes not gonna hurt you anymore.

Nine:  You are one in a million.

Ten: L e t G o.
