Just A Local Girl

Living in the south of France is a dream for most people. With its 300 days of sun and being considered a playground for the rich and famous, you would think everyone living here would be on cloud nine. I wish that was me. While it is a beautiful place to live, being a local has its drawbacks. Namely, always being left behind. When I was younger, it wasn’t such a big deal. You know what they say about kids being resilient and all. It wasn’t until I got older and started being noticed by the vacationers that I realized how much it sucked to always be the one waving others off. Back to their real lives, their real friends, their new adventures. While I stay here and go back to my boring life, waiting for the next high season to meet new people and make new friends.
