Hi friends, and welcome back to Cowgirl Monday! Today’s feature: don’t flatter yourself, cowboy – I was leaving anyway!
You ever see a cowboy puff his chest out like he’s God’s gift to women, just because you picked up your purse and walked out? Yeah. That’s when it’s time to turn around (just briefly) and say, “Don’t flatter yourself, cowboy – I was leaving anyway.”
Let’s get one thing clear: country girls don’t storm out. We stride out. Calm, cool, collected, and already halfway through our mental checklist of what we’re doing next. Spoiler alert: it ain’t crying into a tub of rocky road while watching Hallmark movies.
No sir. We’re riding out with a full tank of gas, three playlists queued up, and a plan that includes not wasting a second more on someone who thinks we need them to leave.
Cowboys (and cowboy-adjacents), take note: when a woman’s got a mind of her own and boots to match, she doesn’t wait for your permission to go. You’re not the main character in her rodeo. You’re just a chapter she skipped.
So next time you think you broke her heart? Check again. That sound you hear isn’t sobbing – it’s tires on gravel or hooves on dirt. And that breeze? That’s her ponytail catching the wind while she laughs about how she nearly settled for less.
