I believe in fairy tales when I am falling for someone but think they are rubbish when I am hurt. THat is lame of me! What a hypocrite am I? However, I realized fairy tales happen all the time, I just don't see it because I am stuck in the middle of mine.
I received a fortune the other day, on a crucial day, that read,
"You have to kiss a lot of toads before you can find your prince."
What they don't tell you is:
Before Cinderella met Prince Charming, not only did she have to clean and obey her wicked step mother and step sister's every command but she had to deal with semi dating the boys at the local Royal university of London.
Before Ariel could meet Prince Eric, she had to date around in her waters and then struggle to even talk to the prince.
Before Belle could fall for the Beast she had to constantly deal with Gaston, who had bugged her about dating her whole time in that small provincial town.
Before Jasmine could meet Aladdin, she had to date a bunch of arrogant guys from other kingdoms.
SO before I can meet my prince, I really do have to deal with frogs. And that doesn't mean that my frogs are not someone else's prince.. it just means they are not mine. Maybe, I am in the middle. I am learning from the guys I know and the guys I date what I am looking for in my prince. I am learning that even when I feel like their is no light at the end of my tunnel, that there is always a happy ending waiting to happen. But most of all, I am learning about me. Happy endings with princes are never easy to achieve. They require lots of work and time. I know that all these toads are helping me to be able to handle the prince and all of his quirks that will cause my adoration for him, as well as my possible irritation with him.
All my life I have loved Barbie. Mainly in high school and college, people have said I am a Barbie doll. So as Princess Barbie, I am looking for a noble Prince Ken to hold and love my heart as I hope to do his. There aren't necessarily requirements per say, but there are things I have learned to look for, and things I like. They are listed below:
they must:
*be a worthy member of the gospel and love it most sincerely.
*be open-minded.
*not judge, but be loving in their criticism.
*have a sense of humor, compatible with my own, and have a love for laughter.
*want to be their best- always.
*be educated, at least enough to keep up with me.
*
(now more stupid stuff, that matters less than the above)
*be taller than me, even if only by a half inch.
*like sports.
*
I guess, most importantly they must be able to keep up with me pushing me every day to be better, to go farther, to love more (in a loving manner) and is willing to do what I want to do, whether it is skydiving to surfing to traveling.
So Prince Ken, if you are out there.. these are my hopes and aspirations. Hopefully, one day we will meet soon.
