Growing up as little girls, we tend to believe that love is like a fairytale. Disney has subconsciously made us believe that Prince Charming is going to ride in on his white horse and take us away to happily ever after. When in reality, we will most likely have to kiss more than one frog until we find our Prince Charming.
Disney along with ancient old fairytales lead us to believe that no matter the situation, whether it is a bad divorce and you have an evil step mother (Cinderella) or if you are a female that has a low income but has big dreams of owning your own restaurant (Princess & The Frog). The answer to all of your heartache and struggles is a man! A man can solve all of your problems by falling in love with you. He will come along, drop down on one knee and ask you to marry him, and just like that all of your problems no longer exist. Are fairytales suggesting that men and love can solve all of your problems and they will simply vanish and disappear? Or are fairytales just simply suggesting that with a little love we can accomplish anything and everything?
I am not saying that fairytales are incapable of coming true, because sometimes they do. It’s just the probability of anyone finding happily ever on the first encounter is very slim to none. Just like the likelihood of you making a wish on the evening star coming true is not that great. But then again, who am I to crush some little girls dream? I am just a girl who believed in fairytales and making wishes on stars, until one day I had to face reality and learn that love hurts sometimes and not every guy is my knight in shining armor. But that doesn't stop me from believing in happily ever after endings, I still do believe that I will find my Prince Charming one day. There will be a day when my Prince Charming will come and sweep me off of my feet, but until that day I will just keep kissing frogs…
