Growing up

How can you really be the best you can be? Every time you think you've made it...someone comes along to show you how much you really haven't.

I guess I'll never be the wife I want to be. I mean, I have some good qualities. I'm encouraging, loving, adventurous, and of course super funny. HA. But I'm definitely not the servant I wish to be. My wonderful father decided to point this out to me. Twice.

I must have a princess persona. Tim was born a servant. It comes so naturally to him. Growing up my family always called me "Queen of the Universe" because it always had to be my way. I guess I carried that over into marriage. I thought I grew out of it, and maybe in some ways I have. I'm definitely not the same person I was when I was young. But to hear my dad say something like that again, made my heart stop for a second.
Am I not helping enough?
Should I do more?
Will Tim get tired of me?
Am I a good wife?

I hate being looked at the same way I was back then. I sure hope I've grown since then. I'm trying my hardest to be the best wife I can be. I know my dad says things he doesn't mean, but for some reason it always gets to me. Maybe its hard for parents to see you as anything different than what you were when you were young.

I guess the only person who really matters is my husband. No matter what, I should always strive to be a better person than the day before. You shouldn't ignore the things people say about you, sometimes they might be true. You can learn and grow from it.
