V: Mama, you know how everyone says they want to be like this or that person when they grow up.
Me: Yes.
V: Do you know who I want to be like when I grow up?
Me: No. Tell me baby.
V: I want to be just me.
Me: (In my mind - Awww....)
You know, when we were growing up everyone of us said we wanted to be like this or that person when we grow up. Guess what? We all grew up to be just us. Once expectations are set closer to reality, life should be less like a fight and more like a beautiful journey.
