There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love,
but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be.

A Princess

At some point in my life, I would like to feel like a princess. When I was a little girl, I loved fairy tales. Grimm's was a book I read over and over again. I used to create stories in my mind about daring deeds, and far away places. Fancied the thoughts of being rescued from my life to be whisked off to a special place for us. (whomever the other is)

I don't believe there have been many days in my life where I felt like a princess. Someone that was adored for just being myself. (no offense, smile) Oh well. It's not stopping me from living, and I don't feel left out of anything. I just wonder what it would be like. For just a day. To feel like someone else would cherish me the way I deserve to be. Maybe I should start with myself, and the rest will fall in to place.

At least it would be a start. Sort of melancholy today after such a fun weekend. *back to reality*

  1. It is a nice feeling, one I've only experienced a couple of times. But I think you're on the right track when you say you should start with yourself. Things usually do fall into place after that....

  2. Karma: Its tough to do when you are a single mom. Not many minutes left at the end the day for pampering oneself.

  3. You hit the nail on the head, My Mel. Cherish yourself first. To do otherwise is a dishonor to your higher being AND it's behavior that any partner will copy. Not good.

  4. I often long to feel like a prince, but usually I wind up feeling like a restroom attendant at the palace.

  5. C: I am really working on that this year. I find that it is difficult to accomplish somedays, but I am learning and changing behaviour.

    LBB: well, you are the prince of the restroom then! :lol: :hug:

  7. Ya know, it's really unfair for the princess thing to be given to us as an option when we're little girls. LOL I know exactly how you feel.

    Wouldn't want to eat that poison apple tho. *shudder* ;o)

  8. OK, one more thing re: the princess. A friend of mine just emailed me this and I couldn't resist. ;o)

    This should have been read to us when we were little:

    Once upon a time
    ~~~~~~~~
    in a land far away,
    ~~~~~~~~
    a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess
    ~~~~~~~~
    happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a lovely meadow near her castle.
    ~~~~~~~~
    The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: " Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.
    ~~~~~~~~
    One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am
    ~~~~~~~~
    and then, my sweet, we can marry
    ~~~~~~~~
    and set up housekeeping in your castle
    ~~~~~~~~
    with my mother,
    ~~~~~~~~
    where you can prepare my meals,
    ~~~~~~~~
    clean my clothes, bear my children,
    ~~~~~~~~
    and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. "
    ~~~~~~~~
    That night,
    ~~~~~~~~
    as the princess dined sumptuously
    ~~~~~~~~
    on lightly sauteed frog legs
    ~~~~~~~~
    seasoned in a white wine
    ~~~~~~~
    and onion cream sauce,
    ~~~~~~~~
    she chuckled and thought to herself:
    ~~~~~~~~
    I don't freakin think so.
