fairy tales and girls seem to go hand and hand. there's always a prince but no one ever calls attention to the male fascination with fairy tales. let's be clear, star wars - male fairy tale! but in our world, no matter what part of the earth you call home, there is a story of a girl being rescued by a man who whisks her off somewhere to live happily ever after.
here's the thing. i don't believe in fairy tales. i imagine some people manage to have some version of a fairy tale but that's not my story. i just want the happy ending. not happily ever after, just happy. you know, like most people around me seem to have. like most women and men my age. no need to be rescued. i can hold my own. but how about we go off and build a life together, and, you know, be happy. i'm having a moment right now to be sure. but gah!
i spent the holiday with friends and i had a great time but i'm just like wow, when does this change? when do i stop going to these things solo? when do i get to spend the holidays with my the inlaws (yes, i'm aware that most people actually dread this, but how awesome to have the option)? i grow tired of this stage of life. not interested in hearing the foolishness that is circulated around to women who share my feelings/desires. save it for someone who needs a captain save a hoe. i do not. i have much to offer. i'm just wondering when i'll meet someone that recognizes that and is on the same page as me. i've managed to get half of that equation but not the whole equation. my love life is a half solved mathematical expression. how's that for irony? yep, no fairy tales, just looking for x + y = happy ending.
