The question refer to the text below.
“And they lived happily ever after”. That almost seems too good to be true, right? While many are out there searching for the top eight ways to find out if they are compatible with their significant other, some people are just trying to figure out where the term “Prince Charming” actually applies to any real-world relationship. Let’s throw it back to the movie Cinderella.
Cinderella, who had thus far lived a harsh, cold life with her evil stepmother and two stepsisters, was swept off of her feet at a ball by none other than Prince Charming himself. With his dashing good looks and perfect mannerisms, who wouldn’t fall for someone like him? From about the time girls were able to talk, they were taught that a handsome gentleman on a white horse would eventually come sweep them off of their feet and make them the happiest that they have ever been. Prince Charming, much like any hero, was designed to save a damsel in distress.
Girls everywhere are left thinking: “If the idea of Prince Charming does hold true today, where is my other half hiding?” That is overrated. It’s time we start saving ourselves. Don’t get me wrong. Everyone deserves happily ever after, but let’s try starting with ourselves first.
If there is anything I have learned on this venture to bettering myself before finding the right guy, it’s that I am human, and I am entitled to make mistakes in order to grow as a person. Humans are defined as being subject to weaknesses, imperfection, and fragility. Humans are flawed in almost every way possible.
Does that really sound like the Prince Charming that has been illustrated in movies, books, fairytales, etc. for us since childhood? But ladies, there is no such thing as the “perfect guy”. Prince Charming will have flaws just like you. He won’t always be tall, dark, and handsome. He won’t always have the perfect smile. And he definitely won’t be coming up to you on a white horse. But he will be perfect for you when the time is right and the right one comes along. Why wait until then to start living happily ever after?
