the difference between girls and women

My friend, Rebecca, sent this to me, and I'm grateful for it because I needed reminding of which one I'm trying to be.

A girl leaves her schedule wide open and waits for a guy to call and make plans.
A woman makes her own plans and nicely tells the guy to get in where he fits.

A girl wants to control the man in her life.
A woman knows that if he's truly hers, he doesn't need controlling.

A girl checks her guy for not calling.
A woman is too busy to realize he hadn't.

A girl is afraid to be alone.
A woman revels in it.

A girl ignores the good guys.
A woman ignores the bad guys.

A girl makes her guy come home.
A woman makes her guy want to come home.

A girl worries about not being pretty and/or good enough for her man.
A woman knows that she is more than pretty and/or good enough for any man.

A girl tries to monopolize all her man's time.
A woman realizes that a lil' bit of space makes "together time" even more special, and she goes out with her own friends.

A girl thinks a guy crying is weak.
A woman offers her shoulder and a tissue.

A girl wants to be spoiled and tells her man so.
A woman shows her man how to spoil her and makes him comfortable enough to reciprocate without fear of losing his manhood.

A girl gets hurt by a few men and makes all men pay for it.
A woman knows that it was just a few men.

A girl falls in love and chases aimlessly after the object of her affection, ignoring all "signs."
A woman knows that sometimes the one she wants doesn't always want her, and she moves on, without bitterness.

A girl will read this and get an attitude.
A woman will read this and pass it on to other women.
