The last thing I wanted was to be with someone who's the same age as me and wanted the limelight, wanted the attention. There's lots of girls out there who do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was younger, I actually wanted to be in the spotlight. To have people want me, want to have a piece of me.
The things I wanted to do from a very early age - ie. get married and have children - precluded a lot of guys my own age from wanting to have anything to do with me.
A lot of the girls my age were impressed by silly stuff like money and fame. I wanted to be able to have intellectual and spiritual conversations with someone who was on the same page as me.
I think I wasted a lot of my youth, falling for girls who were a couple of years older than me.
Dating and getting attention from boys was something that came later to me.
A good amount of the guys wanted to date me. Even older guys looking at me. It took some getting used to.
Attention. That's all girls want.
I like being the center of attention. I want to be in the limelight, basically.
I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age, but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was, initially, a very happy marriage.
Ever since I was younger I wanted to be on stage, singing my songs in a glittering costume. And that happened and is still happening. I have to remember that this is what I wished for and be grateful because there are 500 other girls right behind me that are ready to snatch it up.
