"i know i can change just feel hopeless that she will notice it"
Make the changes because they will make you a better person. Not because it's to get your W back. If you're doing it for that, the changes will not stick because they will be superficial.
It's also pursuing and makes it seem insincere. When you stop wondering if your W will notice them, they become LIFE changes and NOT WIFE changes.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
