Frigging Fairy Tales and the Lies They Tell Us.

Fairy tales from our childhood are the biggest lies we tell ourselves as adults. Don't get me wrong I loved Beauty and The Beast, Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and even Shrek, heck I am huge massive Disney fan, but all those fairytales have done nothing but jaded my perception of life. Especially life with men.



As a woman I have dreamt of the perfect life, with a happy ending ever since I saw Prince Charming put that beautiful glass slipper on Cinderella's foot at the end of Cinderella. I remember thinking to myself when I was 8 or 9 year old Erin that I would love to find a Prince Eric out there in the world so that I could change who I was to be perfect for him. In fact, it is pretty much thrown in our faces at an early age as young girls that we are to find Prince Charming and he is going to sweep us off our feet and save us from ourselves. Even Belle in Beauty and the Beast suffered from Stockholm Syndrome to be with the Beast man she thought she should be with. Time in and Time out we are taught that we are the helpless fair creatures and men are here to pick us up off the floor.

Then we grew up, and we have all these repressed memories of fairytales and we think that we have found "Mr.Perfect". And we change ourselves and our surroundings to have our happily after. But does that happen? Do we live happily ever after? Nope. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble bust "Mr.Perfect" is not real, and all those movies we watched are just fiction and fantasy, no wonder a lot of us women are messed up when it comes to men, we have unrealistic expectations for ourselves and for men. Let's face it they aren't the problem either, its society as a whole that is the issue.

Here is the truth ladies; YOU ARE STRONG ON YOUR OWN. You do not have to have a man validate your self worth. We all sparkle in our own way, and our job, when it comes time, is to find the man who is going to compliment our sparkle not one who is going to let it fade. Never settle, just don't stay with someone to justify who you are. The worst thing you can do is linger around and think that he is the best you can get so you may as well stay. Life should not work like that. So dust off your shoulders and knees and stand up and walk away.


We have to remember that we deserve the best, even if we have been a bit crazy in our lives, we do not want to settle for Mr.Sometimes. We should find Mr.Always, the man who will sing the song in our heart back to us, the one who wants us at our best and the one who will love us through our worst. He will be the one whose name gives us chills, whose love we could never imagine living without. He will be the one who holds us when the rest of the world walks away. And that isn't Prince Charming that is Mr.Always and he's out there looking for us, his Miss Forever.
