Behind every great man...

"There is a great woman." A friend of mine used that saying a few days ago and it is still on my mind. (Of course, it is a wonderfully empowering thought which I playfully twist to mean that the woman is the "shadow king" or master puppeteer.) 

I don't want to be behind a great man. Yes, I want to be better because of him and vice versa- that is the potential of any worthwhile relationship- but I don't like the imagery of being behind him. Why am I behind him? Bear with me, this is not a (completely) feminist entry. 

Serving a mission and being around a lot different boys and men (all around the age of 19) really made me think about what I want in a companion.  I want someone I can serve, I can laugh with, I can really, deeply connect and talk with, I want someone I can stand beside, not behind. 

 

More later, surgery tomorrow, I have to sleep.
