I think I'm scared.

I'm quickly heading towards middle-class-dom, and it scares me. A lot. Don't misunderstand me, I love Charlene, and I'm happy with my life. But I always expected something more. Something special. Like to cure cancer. It's just very mellowing to wake up one day and realize, "I'm never going to cure cancer." Not that I have any great desire

Way to make me feel like I'm not good enough.

I'm sorry if you took it that way, baby

Long story short: I'm scared because I'm dissappointed with myself, and expected myself to be a better man for you, not because I'm unhappy with my place in life.

I don't think I really have anything constructive to say here, but I really enjoyed reading this. I don't think anyone's life turns out the way we plan it to anyway; and it changes enough that even if it did, we're always having to adjust to something new or different. I have great hope that the path you and Charlene are on will lead you guys through a very happy life together, even if you can't always see where it's going.

Albert Einstein said, "Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value." Personal successes and monetary gains mean nothing if no one values you as a person. If your wife is happy with you and values you as a person, you're already miles ahead of many others. You don't need money to be rich.
And when you're dead and gone, I'll still remember you. We may not have hung out that much, but you're the kind of person that leaves a lasting impact with anyone that's half-ass paying attention.

I hope that's a good impact ;)
