I remember back then, after reading all of those fairy tales where a handsome prince would swept the princess off her feet, that I've always secretly wanted to have my own tiara, live in an enchanted castle, have godmothers grant my wishes and have this chivalrous prince who would defy the laws of gravity, slay a dragon and wake me up from my very deep slumber through his kiss. it has always been like that ever since.

having to experience heartache, abandonment, confusion and despair, slowly i realized that princes aren't real (at least not the casual ones) and having my feet swept off by a handsome prince was way beyond my imagination. surely, it doesn't hurt to dream but in this sad excuse of a love life, i think it's time to snap back into reality. 

we know how beautiful love is from romantic chic lit books to sappy movies. it's as if their life is full of it -- full of love, kindness and thoughtfulness. but the reality is, we don't usually get the handsome chivalrous fellow that is described in the books. if you're a Twilight fan, you don't get Edward Cullen nor Jacob Black for that matter. and no, you don't get to have Harry Potter who is always there to save the day. as a matter of fact, we get to have the Darth Vader-ish guy. he may not be soul-less but he's not a gentleman, either. he's there but not really -- he's just lustful and wants to take control of every situation. he's the alpha male and alpha males do what they do best: command and lead.

because we're too hung up on having the perfect novel love story, we don't. boys will forever be boys and girls will forever create dramas and make big deals of every little things. we don't get to have the perfect love story, the good guy, the enchanted castle and magical creatures. no, but instead we get to have tall buildings, cell phones and emails, a short walk in the park or in the romantic side note of it all, a candle lit dinner. that is all and if you're lucky enough, someone is right out there for you who would slay a dragon or a basilisk and propose on jumbotrons, then grab him and never ever let him go.

i know this isn't like my previous posts where it rhymes or is sort off poetic in some ways. forgive me for my lack of creativity but i think a topic like this especially a topic where i strongly believe in shouldn't need fancy words or rhymes. it needs to be straight up and down right smack in the face.
