22 reasons why adulthood is much better ...
We all know her: the "cute" girlies, who still pull all the teen registers at 30. Adulthood is much better! We would rather be a cool woman than an eternal girl ...
At the age of 20 we were constantly drunk or on a diet and flirting with every man - even to maneuver out of one or the other mess out ... And that's okay.
Beyond 30, we are smarter and more self-confident. We know what's good for us and how we achieve our goals without strumming our eyelashes ...
Eternal girlie or cool woman? One of the little things that make the big difference and why it's great to be an adult woman, read here:
22 reasons why adulthood is much better
Cool woman or eternal Girlie? The difference is that cool women ...
... celebrate yourself
Girls are scared of doing something wrong and just do not want to attract attention. Cool women dare to new - and sometimes the step into the limelight. Because they know that every experience makes you stronger. These small successes and even the pride in themselves, they also celebrate. Whenever you feel like it. And in the middle of the dance floor, instead of standing on the edge.
... do not constantly compare with others
Are others more beautiful, popular or gifted? Girls constantly check that out and get annoyed when they do poorly. They often even emulate the holiest Hollywood stars. Women, on the other hand, rely on themselves instead of looking at what any aunts can do better - and putting themselves under unnecessary pressure. They do not always bother with themselves (and others) but have learned to treat. Hey, who is a multi-talent? The main thing is to use your own strengths at the right moment!
... allow yourself a vice
"Oh, cake - yum, but I do not want to lose weight." Such a saying we will rarely hear from cool women. Because they like their desire for sweet or "crispy" like. Because sometimes they just let fives be. And find weaknesses adorable.
... know who to rely on
There are people who are like lucky charms: they give us a sense of security because we know that they are always there for us. While girls have a new "best friend" every year, women appreciate these good spirits that have already proven themselves. Because a person who you can fully trust, is pretty much the best thing that can happen to you. Because he takes us as we are. We are happy when we are well. And takes us in the arms, if nothing works. Familiar people tell us when we have screwed up something. And often understand each other wordlessly.
Girls often do not get along with so much closeness and honesty. And usually have no great desire to return even so much mindfulness. To go on the runway with the clique, to talk to the colleague - that costs much less effort. A true friend is worth much more than all acquaintances together.
... have a haven
When we were really little girls, we built a cave out of cushions and blankets. This was our fortress where nothing could happen to us. Eternal girls today would like to give up all responsibility and hide when life is common to them.
Cool women, on the other hand, treat themselves to tiny ticks to recharge their batteries. Which sanctuary is most suitable for this purpose? For some it is the balcony, for others the bathtub: one can dive into it, fly the thoughts, let oneself be enveloped by the warmth. Whichever spot you choose - the main thing, cell phone, laptop and everyday problems are quite far away.
... whistle on conventions
On cheesy films are wearing motto T-shirts, in the morning already feed farmers breakfast - sure, for such quirks hailing stupid comments. This is fun for girls then over. For women, he is just beginning ...
... show pragmatism
The sentences of eternal girls often start with "I want ...". They have their own idea of how things work. All the more bitter the disappointment, if it does not work out. Women, on the other hand, have become friends with pragmatism. Because it makes almost everything possible: first of all, that a situation feels pretty okay, even if things are not going well. What the hell - basically it's just the small disturbances in the master plan that will be remembered. And of which one can tell later. The best way is, of course, if you have also befriended with "serenity": the buddy of pragmatism.
... have a hymn
Boy bands, heavy metal and finally indie pop. Or: hit, soul and then hip-hop. Every woman has a soundtrack of her life. And therein is a song that means a lot to her. A hymn that makes her happy. And that she can even memorize in her sleep. Of course, girls also sing songs. Some song from the charts. Yuck. that makes you happy. And that she can even memorize in her sleep. Of course, girls also sing songs. Some song from the charts. Yuck.
... stay curious
Eternal girls like to deal with themselves. Cool women are interested in their fellow human beings. They listen instead of just talking about themselves. And want to learn something new, instead of turning in a circle.
... handle alcohol properly
Cola with red wine? No thanks. Instead of tasting questionable station wagons, cool women stick to their favorite cocktail. And they also know how many of them are tolerated. This will save you some embarrassment: such as the midnight SMS to the ex and clandestine confessions that you regret the next day.
... to be alone
Today lunch with Lisa, tomorrow coffee with Anna and then quickly on to dinner with Lena. The calendar of eternal girls is bursting at the seams because they can not be alone. And a full meeting planner so beautifully what makes. Cool women know how to appreciate time alone. On the couch with bad-funny tv. Or a good book. It is also wonderful to be unobserved. Nothing to talk about. Just to get new gummy bears for a while. Our friends will still be our friends tomorrow. And then they can look forward again to our full attention.
... tackle
Install the car battery. Drill a hole in the wall. Set up a mail account. Eternal girls do not know this feeling of happiness because they always call for help right away. Cool women first try to take things into their own hands.
... have a motto
How do I want to live? Not only girls are thinking about it. But smart women have at least a smart everyday motto. Such a little wisdom quickly pulls you out of any bad mood. And remember what's really important.
... have a vocation
As a singer, model or actress have success - many eternal girls see this as their "vocation". First of all, they misunderstand the term. And secondly, often overestimate themselves. A calling need not have anything to do with a job at all - but it should make our strengths and happiness shine. This can be true for some by engaging in a charity project. For the others, sing in a choir or sell homemade jam in the market. You can do yourself and others good in many ways.
... possess self-irony
Why do you always stumble over your own feet when there are as many "witnesses" as possible? Girls would be so terribly embarrassed and sneak away with a red head. Women can confidently (monotonously) make a monkey. Because they can laugh at themselves - not just others.
... To keep a secret
Girls reveal themselves to others like a opened book and babble everything on. Every conversation revolves around who has the most spectacular news. Women can keep their own secrets (and others!): For them, restraint and loyalty are more than just bang effects.
... show courage
Should I really do that? Cool women dare to take a risk sometimes, without weighing everything endlessly - and finally to pinch. You will be rewarded with so much courage with many small and big triumphs. And a few defeats that you can be just as proud of.
... do not give up so fast
Girls immediately throw the gun in the grain when something gets too exhausting for them. Cool women sometimes bite themselves: whether they start a running training or learn Chinese.
... stand for your own style
Midi-length skirts, harem pants, creepers: girls take any trend with them because they do not know what they're wearing. And what underscores her personality. Women already have these experiments behind them. They have a great sense of self-esteem and are essentially true to their style. Which often makes life easier for them? They have at least one "uniform" in the closet: super-fitting underwear, a favorite outfit, a timeless perfume. So a protective cover in which they feel completely comfortable.
... make everyday life easier
Get a present for the girlfriend. Cook. Wash clothes - it's clear that this has to be done. Just ask, how. Eternal girls have a hard time because they want to do a thousand things at the same time. And then postpone everything. Cool women do not stress themselves: they first call the pizza service, then browse online for beautiful things ... and give the laundry for once in the cleaning.
... live in the here & now
Girls shoot 100 photos at each party to upload to Facebook - and show everyone how much fun they have. They forget about the whole posing, really celebrate. Cool women, on the other hand, enjoy every special moment. They dance their feet sore on birthdays instead of photographing the boring people in the kitchen. Celebrate the sunset, instead of capturing every color change to a new photo. (And by the way, have real albums, made of leather, and no "Party" folder on the laptop.)
... have a male friend
Eternal girls know many men. And most of all, they like flirting with them - after all, each type is more or less a potential prey for them. Women on the other hand can meet a man purely friendly. In any case, if both sides have excluded all serious and half-hearted intentions. But then cool women really appreciate the gift of such a special relationship. Do you get insights into a psychic life, which makes them in their partnership from time to time before puzzles. Also, men - much straighter than girlfriends - say what they think. And that's why they're great guides.
