Sally grew up in a sweet little Texas town with the perfect family–an older brother and one younger sister, two dogs, and a family that loved her. She regularly attended church, volunteered around town, and fell in high school love with the star quarterback. A beautiful girl, inside and out, Sally virtuously held her boyfriend at arms length careful never to take their physical relationship past a kiss. During her 15 minute break at school, when most of the kids are goofing off and gossiping, she’d stop by the special ed class to cheer those kids up. She visited her grandparents every Sunday and kissed stray puppies on the side of the road.
Sally is a real person, but is not me. I hated Sally growing up–we were equals on so many levels, I had the loving, perfect family, I went to church, I kissed doggies–but she was better.
I’m 26 and live in Texas. I’ve got no husband, two dogs for kids, and a family that’s over-involved. I am loved and I love…but sometimes not enough! I find myself wondering if I’m a nice person. I volunteer, give money to the homeless, smile at strangers–but there are times where I really wonder, “how nice is nice? And am I nice enough?”
Welcome to 20sb! Sally does sound way too perfect. It sounds like you're pretty nice, or at least a lot nicer than a lot of people. But I think we all have to be egotistical to some degree.
