Fairy Tales Can Happen To You, If You Were Young at Heart

What's the difference between a fairy tale and reality? Well, if you actually think about, fairy tales aren't very far off from reality, (despite the talking mice, giant pumpkin carriages, and singing to animals who help you do chores part). And there could possibly be an evil bitch witch. There's your Prince Charming and his rusty trusty steed. And your fairy godmother, could honestly be anyone. And then there's YOU. Yes, YOU're the princess in the fairy tale. In fact, though it's really cheesy: we're all princesses and we're all living our own versions of a fairy tale at this moment. I mean, when we were little girls, we were all made to believe that we'll find a Prince Charming, who will save us from that evil bitch and from poverty...and then take us away on his horse to a castle far far away where we will live happily ever after. Now, growing up (after all the shit we've been through with guys), we've totally just ignored the fact that we'll find that type of guy and just settle down with some other random guy. That fairy tale dream lives in you, just waiting for the right moment to bring that princess out of you. Don't judge me, ladies, I'm a hopeless romantic, trying to live a dream here!

I know, I'm living as if I were in a dream, but you know if you think about it, one day we'll tell our love stories to our children and grandchildren as if it were a fairy tale. Eventually, we'll find him. Or as we all hope, he'll find us first. I mean, like all fairy tale princesses, we're living life obliviously in this cruel reality that we call life. And then with his trusty steed, whatever it may be: a car, a box, maybe if you're lucky, a real horse, he'll sweep us off our feet. You know, if you think that Prince Charmings don't exist, maybe they do, I mean he could be YOUR Prince Charming, and no one elses. Who cares what people have to say? He doesn't have to be that guy that everyone wants...All that matters, is that he should be the guy that YOU want. Who loves YOU for YOU. And if he had all those Prince Charming qualities...think about it...isn't that kind of shitty? I mean, of course knowing how to slay dragons can help you in life, but how about if you're so caught up in the whole fairy tale business, that you're missing the point? It's your life, don't base it on some story. Write your own. Don't let anyone who's charming or handsome woo you and then hurt you. There's so many Prince Charmings out there, but some of them, aren't charming after all. That's why you gotta look hard and be careful. It's a harsh world, ladies. It's not right if we just let ourselves go, because of something that we call love. We can find lust anywhere, love is tucked away in someone's heart, waiting for us to find. Don't let anyone fool you.

Maybe there is a difference between fairy tales and reality. We can't expect that one guy we fall in love with to be our Prince Charming, no, don't be blind, like all the other fairy tale princesses. Love can make us into fools and when we're in love with some douche bag, we're vulnerable to getting hurt. That's why we gotta be strong and not be easily wooed. Don't play TOO hard or TOO easy to get though, ladies. Because you'll go no where. Just keep an open eye and an open mind. Then we'll find him. And live happily ever after...or maybe close to it. Remember, it's all about YOUR STORY and NO ONE ELSE's. I mean, you're the one that's going to be living with him for the REST OF YOUR LIFE here...make the right decisions, and avoid the wrong ones (obvy).

Thoughts anyone?

P.S. Ladies, I know, I've been slacking. I've been so busy. Hope this post made up for two weeks of nothingness.
