Are fairy tale lives really all they are cracked up to be?

Ok, so maybe a movie made me think of this, (Holiday in Handcuffs) but to me it makes sense. You know how when you were a little girl, (yes I am talking to the girls out there) and you wished that you could find your prince? The Romeo to your Juliet or whoever the hell fell in love with Cinderella. Thinking about it now, what kind of life is that really? What's so attractive about it? All the glitz and glammer, what's the point of it? You would just become bored with it within a few days.

I do realize, that some people really do want that life, and some people really do believe that that is there ideal life. Some people may not even become bored with a life like that, because they have everything they want and they never have to work for what they want. That's not me, and I know sure as hell that's not every girl out there. True to that, I also realize not all little girls dream about their fairy tale life. Some dream about being vampires. ^,.,^ Like me.

Anyways, so these are the reasons why a fairy tale life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Seriously, where is a girl going to find a prince in this day and age? A truly good guy is hard enough to come by as it is, a prince is a little farfetched, especially since there are so few places who actually have Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses. Now, I'm not being pessimistic about it, hell no, I'm just being realistic, and perhaps I'm a little biased, because a prince is not the kind of guy I want.

Going on, I know some people really would rather have someone do all the work for them, but again, I'm not one of them. I rather do my own work, I rather be able to say, here I am, at this position, I got here myself, without the help of others. I want to reach and complete my goals myself, and I want to work for the things I want in life because that's so much more exciting. Sure, I could just tell myself, I'll find some rich guy who will support everything I do, mooch all his money and get what I want and do no work at all, but where's the fun in that? I'm the type of girl who likes to get down on the ground and dirty my hands for what I want. I am a person who works for what I want, and is ultimately so much happier I was able to do it myself instead of going to someone else for help.

Realistically, I know I won't be able to get everything I want in life, not with the world how it is today, but what I do get, I can be proud of. Like a college degree, something I will get, with as little help from my parents as possible. I've been filling out scholarships like nothing else for a while, and hopefully I can get my entire tuition paid with it. Traveling, I plan to do that, but I don't expect my mom to pay for anything. I want to be on my own and I want to go to different places. I want to see and do something new everyday because doing the same thing everyday is way too boring. I can't stand how some people just settle down to a life style, settle down with a guy who is so freaking predictable that there are no more surprises after the first year.

I know not everyone is like me, and thank God for that, but I mean come on! Who wants a monotonous life? It may be easier to deal with, but I would go crazy within a few hours! I need a life that keeps me on my toes, a life that allows travel, and a guy who would think to take me to a patch of mud and fling mud around as a birthday present, as I was telling my friend Dani just a few minutes ago. I'd rather fling mud around, or go somewhere, do something different each year for my birthday, instead of receive flowers and a 'happy birthday.' It doesn't have to cost money, it doesn't have to be extravegant, but a little thought and a little creativity never hurt anyone.

So take that fairy tale lives! Take a bite of the creative unexpected part of life that you don't cover! Yes, I realize I'm talking to nothing right there, but you know, that's just part of the charm of a non-fairy tale life. : )
