All I Can be is ME

All my life I have felt inferior to everyone around me. My sisters were pretttier than I and I didn't have much interest in figuring out how to fix whatever vexed me about my looks. I have always had more boy tendences than girls. I like to be outside sweating, working, hunting, fishing, playing sports, watching sports, I am loud & not vey lady like. I have always had male friends, but before my husband I had never had a great romance. Plenty of buddies, but most of the time I was just that great girl that was going to make some other man a great wife someday. Men didn't look at me and fall madly in love. That did not stop my lust for life. I love to play & play ruff & get dirty. Now I have two little girls, ok so they are teenagers now, but they will always be my little girls, both are drop dead gorgeous & very different from one another. Even though they are so young they have taught me a great deal about myself. My oldest a firery redhead who is as girly as they come, head strong, she must get that from her father, & not one for sweating. She is a beauty pageant extrodinare & absolutely boy crazy. My youngest is an extreme beauty, excellent 4.0 student, athletic, tomboy, but she does have a touch of girly in there, that must come from being born so beautiful. She however is not boy crazy, she is career oriented, she figures boys will come later. Through their differences I have finally came to the conclusion that no matter what you do, you are who you are. Even though my own mother repeated told me how unattractive I was I came to realize I have some very cool attributes, that most people see when they get to know me. I am different than the quintacincial southern lady, yet I am quiet a catch. How many other woman would prefer to spend her time in a tree stand dressed in camo, rather than out shopping or getting her nails did. I am me and I am very pleased with whom I have become & that is all I ever need is to be happy with me. Moral of this story no matter whether or not you fit into the puzzle that the world has set out as the pattern for each of us to fit into, do not dismay find out what makes you happy about yourself & live. Life is to short to try to widdle a square peg down to make it fit a round hole. Be sqaure you will be happier, healthier, & eventually you will meet the right person who carries the puzzle for which your peg will fit. Be yourself, it is all you can be!
