When I Grow Up I Want To Be...

Strong, but I don't want to rule the world. I want to be a woman, but I want to be a girl. I want to be powerful, but I want to be weak. I want to be proud and confident, but I want to be meek. I want to tell people exactly what I think; but I don't my opinions to put friendships on the brink. I want to be happy with exactly who I am, but always have that yearning to improve the best I can. I want to be satisfied with being by myself, but I want to satisfy the need of being with someone else. I want to be independent and take care of myself, but I want to push my pride aside when I'm in need of someone's help. I want to be outgoing and talk to strangers easily. but I want to be quiet and watch people perceivingly. I want to show my love for people I care for, but I don't want to waste my love when there's someone who deserves it more. I want to show emotions more, like happiness, on my face, but I want to keep emotions, like hatred, in it's place. I want to always show that I put other people first, but I want to always have time for me before I begin to burst. I want to have my priorities perfectly set in line, but I want to have some fun and not worry about the time. Now you know the good and bad points of every part of me. These are the things I wish to do and who I want to be.
