Every Woman

I’m the girl who has been dreaming of her wedding since she learned to talk, who has longed for her prince to come rescue her, who has given her life to someone to have had it crushed in their hands, who has been lied to, cheated on, ignored, and most recently cherished. I’m every woman. Fairy tales are just that: tales. No one gets a happily ever after; they get a lot of good times and trials that test their true character. When they look back on their life, it’s then they realize that life is beautiful. There own story is more powerful than any dream of a prince charming coming to rescue them. No one rescued them from their pitiful life because there was nothing to be rescued from. In every situation lies a meaning, lies a purpose. For every tear we cry, is part of our weaknesses escaping. Every broken promise makes every promise kept more meaningful. For when we do find the one, it’s not the guy filled with empty words with fleeting comfort; it’s the one that has challenged you to become the best you can be. He may not be rich, he may not be suave, he may not be funny, but he improves you and you him. He does not complete you; he emphasizes your best parts. You do not need him, but life is definitely better with him. This is not a fairy tale. It’s a test of strength, character, trust, and happiness. Thank you.
