Sometimes, I wish life was more like a fairytale- containing everything: the princesses, princes, queens, fairy godmothers, and knights in shining armor. The prince charming, or knight was never too more than a few flipped pages ahead. There were singing and dancing pots and candles, and the beauty always seemed to fall for the beast. My godmother could fix any of my problems just by simply waving a wand; and in the end everything always seemed to work out.
When I was little, my life revolved around these stories, without them I wouldn’t be nearly the same person I now am. I modeled my childhood around them, you could have given me, simply, a puffy “princess” dress and a pair of shiny shoes, told me I was queen of a small village, and I could have went into a thirty minuet explanation about who I was, where I came from, and who I would end up marrying (including any detail you would want to know about him). Ever since then, I have been a hopeless romantic searching for the perfect “prince”, just like in every fairytale you can think of. Hypothetically, I’ve spent countless nights waiting by my window sill, for that one night the perfect guy will ride up on his horse, break into song and win my heart forever.
Every time I read a fairytale, the story isn’t complete without all the main characters. There always need be a princess, or damsel in distress, a queen, the mother or father of the princess that tries to life her life for her, a jealous knight or another person fighting for the thrown, both are trying to harm the princess, but then there is always the knight or prince, the one that always save the princess from the terrifying tower, or the menacing dragon. A story lacking any of these parts would simply be unsatisfying.
Today, in modern society, it isn’t unlikely to see young girls selling themselves short, hoping to find their knight in shining armor, in the wrong ways. Most people have lost hope in the any sort of good guy, or simply won’t give him a chance. One day, I plan on making it my goal to find a caring, kind-hearted ‘prince’, capable of proving everyone wrong, he may not appear in a suit of armor, ready to take on the world, but armed in his tin-foil, will make an effort. When they say good guys no longer exist, he’ll make sure they’re wrong. I have faith, and still haven’t lost hope in fairytales, that one day we will all find our “knight in shining armor”.
