What I've Learned I Don't Want to Be
I've learned I don't want to be you.
That's not to say you aren't great. I'm not saying I don't look up to you. Not saying I don't idolize your supermom status.
It's just... I've learned I only want to be me. God designed me this way.
I don't wake at the break of dawn to fix my husband's breakfast and make his lunch. In fact, unless it's a school day, I'm still in bed when he leaves.
I don't spend my entire day, dusting, moping, making sure I have the perfect June Cleaver house. In reality most of the time, I'm scrambling at the last minute to get the dog hair off the floor and dishes thrown in the dishwasher before my guests arrive.
I don't keep up with the newest trends. The truth is I'd rather pull my hair up, forget the makeup, and wear whatever is clean and fits. I'm a momma. Comfort is key now.
I've learned this is me... I'm a mommy. I'm a wife. I'm a Christian. I'm kind. I'm not fake. I love to read, to watch t.v., to get lost in movie, to write a story I've created in my imagination. I like to plan and organize. I like to teach. I like to play games. I like to act like a kid. I'm nostalgic. If you've ever been a part of my life, you still mean the world to me even if we don't talk. I have a temper. I'm passionate. I love my family. I love dogs. Sometimes I'm all about me. I love chocolate. I hate to wash dishes. I'm a daydreamer. I have an attitude from time to time. I get my feelings hurt easily. I'm compassionate. I cry at Hallmark commercials. I eat too much fast food. I love my kids unconditionally and I'd sleep on the edge of my bed every night if sleeping beside me makes my kids feel safe. I ignore the laundry to spend the day caught up in a good book or to write about a made up world. I'm me and I like who I am.
I've learned that even though you're awesome. Even though you have it all together. Even though you accomplish more in one day than I do in a week, I've learned the only person I want to be is me.
I hope the only person you want to be... is YOU.
