The Bachelor and Princess Fantasy

With the premiere of "the Bachelor" a few weeks ago, this concept of the bachelor and the princess seemed to boggle my mind. It seems as young and even older women we are almost brainwashed by Disney and Romantic movies that we should aspire to "true love". Now I am not a pessimistic person, but from experience I know that we can love different people at different times in our lives. I can say that I have been in love probably three times in my life. I say this because I know that there may not be just one person, a prince charming, for all of us. There may be multiple princes at different times because not all relationships that end, end with someone becoming a jerk to the other. I was however impressed with Disney in the recent (overly-hyped) movie "Frozen", where the main princess is content with being by herself as long as she knew who she was. Why could not this concept be there when I was growing up with  Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, and Snow White who were all waiting for a man to complete them. Only one of these many princess I give credit to and that is Cinderella, because her situation was a complete coincidence. I as watched the different adaptations and read the original story I realized that she was not wishing for a prince but a better life. Yes men can make a woman's life better by giving her support and love but ultimately Cinderella wanted to feel beautiful for the evening and have fun at the ball. With all of the marriage themed Pinterest boards and the say yes to this and that for your wedding shows is it okay to expect something different and get something like love as a bonus. As women (and men) if we establish ourselves and our lives first, then maybe just maybe Mr. WhoeverINeedAtTheMoment will be there.

Happy New Year and Reset

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope your 2014 was happy, prosperous, and fulfilling. If it was not then there is always 2015. I know that sounds corny and there are things that you can't take back from the past year. If you learn from the bad or good things then this next year will be a new start for you. This year there are many things that I know I would like to see happen in my life including a degree in my hand! Just know that nothing is impossible, seriously, live by that and you will go far. I will write a more extensive post later this week but for now I will leave you with a quote from the late Maya Angelou  "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." Enjoy the new year and have fun because life is too short.
