I’ll make my own happily ever after…
I watched the movie Enchanted tonight, and I can say I actually liked it. Without giving away too much of the movie for those that haven’t seen it yet, it all boils down to the guy gets the girl. But which one is the question throughout the entire movie. It’s sappy at times, funny at others. I suppose the part that gets me was the girl waiting around for her prince to come.
Sorry guys, so not my style. I waited for years to settle down. The first time around, I did it the entirely wrong way. I barely knew him. Not saying it was all my or his fault, just how it was. I thought at the time, with all the pressure, I had to settle.
Now, I’m older wiser, and know that I deserve more. I quit waiting, and I quit searching. So when love finally did find me again, I tip toe’d into that one. Carefully analyzing every move, every word. It took me awhile to stop that. Granted, it’s not perfect, this whole relationship thing. But it’s mine, well ours I suppose if you want to get technical about it.
He’s not a prince, he isn’t in my life to sweep me off my feet with sweet nothings. He isn’t here to take care of me, or shoulder my burdens. It’s a give give kind of thing, and I like it just the way it is. So I will take it as such, and mold it into what we want, not some fairytale romance. I prefer the reality of it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
