Is the term chick inappropriate in reference to a women? Probably. This is an expansion piece of a passed journal entry. During my school years, I heavily used “chick” in my day to day speech so I’ll continue to exaggerate that here.
The Normal Enough Chick
This chick seems normal or normal enough, right? Not at all. She has no need for another’s company to be happy. The normal enough chick enjoys all genres of movies alone in a crowed or empty theater. This chick grabs a bite to eat at a table for one in a busy diner just to people watch. She wakes up with the sun to spend each hour doing something interesting on her days off of work. And she falls asleep no later than 8pm and turns her phone off for no disturbances.
The normal enough chick takes in the view of the world around her. She breaths in air fresher than those who pretend to have something more important to do than look around them. She rides a bike with one hand so she can enjoy eating her ice cream in the other. And when she’s driving her car no matter the weather she has the windows down, and music at a reasonable volume.
The normal enough chick is on a mission no one placed her on but she is ready to accomplish. She blends in well enough to not be so easily pointed out. But when noticed, she is unforgettable. She attracts her own attention and followers but has no care for what others do around her. Friends are few and adventures are many. And the mission is to continue forth untamable.
The Untamable Chick
You only see what she allows you to, not on purpose, but by default. You only see the surface but under all the smiles and fun times is a personality not tamable by just anyone. Once a normal enough chick, she has evolved and has no chains attaching her to another soul. A free being ready to conquer the world she walks through. No need for words, her presence captivates the masses. She is desired by those who want to be different by association. But unlike the rest, she knows her worth and carries herself with humble pride.
Never a need to say anything mean but she speaks, in such a way, her words shut anyone up and they can still smile. Like a mystical creature you will probably never encounter, the untamable chick glides into the lives of those who believe they don’t matter. The purpose of this chick is to lead by example. She shows off her charming speech, and unique style that works because of the confidence filling out the clothing. After a full day of her shenanigans, she buys you dinner and has a deep conversation you never knew you could follow. By the end of the night, all the untamable chick can do is hope she made your day just a bit more exciting for you to feel something on your own again.
The untamable chick is not for everyone because for only one day you will interact with her. She will be gone and never seen again. Not because she is a tormenting monster but because she has more people to help find their way. Stirring the pot just enough for the ladle to continue spinning without her in hopes you or someone else will take over. The untamable chick is there for most, enjoying life, and around those she wants to accompany. But there comes a time when someone catches her eye but she’ll remain unclaimed until she knows for sure what’s in store for her.
The Unclaimed Chick
The willingness is so far out of reach, you wouldn’t even know what to do with her if you attempted to claim her. The unclaimed chick remains single for a reason. Most of the time she rather be on her own focusing on moving forward rather than settling in stagnate air. She makes sure her stature is met before invading someone else’s life who has no means of reaching her level. Equal planes or slightly better off, she doesn’t have time to work on someone after molding herself into her ideal perfection.
Recognition of her work holds no value from those speaking out of jealousy. She hasn’t changed from her untamable self except for the part that she is ready but not desperate for the next step, a family. She can easily continue on her own adopting children, rescuing animals but she wants to experience partnership and sharing with another. Still normal enough with normal enough chick thinking of how life should be lived, she believes there is someone out there for her. Many even that qualify but that isn’t the concern for her. She doesn’t know who will be capable of handling her.
Up until this point she lived to help those in need and enjoy her life. Not once were her thoughts heard because she’s a women of action. Actions don’t always express or release the mind and heart’s exact emotions. She wants to be able to share that with another person but who will be willing to listen? Who will be excited to share words of adventure during each other’s absence and continue to hold that excitement without envy of the other? Is there anyone who meets that level of respect? Is there anyone else like this chick?
Thank You!
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed the (updated) writings of my teenage self. She was more free with her imagination and understanding of people. Reading through old journals leaves me in awe of how my mind was compared to just a few years into the future. I’m happy I wrote everything down because the ideas and stories I had are something special for today.
Thank you again for reading through it! I hope all of you have a beautiful rest of your day!
