This Saturday is SPA's Senior dance, and it is called "The Happily Ever After Ball". You have to come dressed as your favorite Disney character; I am going as Cinderella.
This whole theme of the dance has got me thinking about Fairy-Tales (and I've also watched a lot of Disney movies) and its got me mostly thinking about Princes and Princess'. When I was little, that was my main goal: Become a Princess (or a singer), just like basically every other girl on the planet. I wanted to dress up in pretty gowns, go on adventures, dance with a handsome prince, have him save me from the wicked witch or whatever, and then live HAPPILY EVER AFTER. Isn't that the main goal of everyone? Live happily ever after with your true love? Well, thats one of mine. :) But, you know, sometimes I feel like I am never going to experience that.. I mean I have all my friends and family saying "Oh, you will be happy and in love one day" and all that stuff, but they don't really know that, do they?
I have decided that I need to stop waiting for Prince Charming and go out and find him, fight the dragon myself and save him. I've been doing that.. At least I think I have. I've been fighting non-stop, and sure I have moments of weakness where I'm in my room with chocolate ice-cream, and a pile of chick flicks, crying my eyes out, but I don't think I've fought for something so hard in my entire life! I am now starting to understand what people are talking about with this crap. I used to not really believe in love and think that Fairy-Tales where just a movie thing, but now that I have experienced love, I finally understand what all the hub-bub is about! Its amazing! Sure, it can totally rip you apart piece from piece, but its totally worth it in the end! But, thats the real hard part.. THE END.. Thats what we are all aiming for, as I said before. Ugh.. I keep wishing that a magic remote will show up so I can just fast forward my life! But, thats not going to happen.. I have to live through all the crappy bits of my life, because if I didn't experience these heartaches, these moments of wanting to give up, I would never truly know the meaning of "Happily Ever After".
Thats why we have to keep going and never give up, NEVER. If you give up now, then all that hard stuff you have fought through is for nothing and now you have wasted your life. So, don't give up on anything. Love, your dreams, family, friends, school.. Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about. Good luck. ;)
