Why do we teach young girls that love is like a fairytale. Disney movies portray princesses and princes living a wonderful magical life together. Newsflash...there is no such thing as happily ever after! Even when you do find someone who is worthy of your love and vice versa it is still hard work.

I've been in and out of love more times than I care to admit, or at least I thought! I had previously been one of those girls who thought that if someone liked me, paid attention to me and had sex with me that it meant they loved me. Ha...soon I discovered the truth about life and love and admittingly realized that I may have only been in love once in my lifetime. That true love, that real love, the love that makes your heart want to stop beating when it ends.

The end of that love tore my life apart but it also opened me up to self discovery and I began to question what I really wanted out of life and what type of person I wanted and ultimately deserved in my life. No more being second best, no more making excuses for them or myself, just someone who is genuinely in love with me and I with them. Even though I had begun to lose a lot of faith in people in general (more specifically men) I still have hope that there is someone out there. Until then I am proud to be single and am enjoying trying new things, living with a free spirit and trying to better my self in general. I realized that I don't 'need' a partner to make me happy but I sure would enjoy having one to share lifes ups and downs with.

So, that was depressing and goofy...LMAO
