Story of my life (in fairytale town maybe lol)

 Once upon a time in a crazy small town, there was a princess. She was pretty, popular, nice, smart, etc. She was everything you could ever want in a princess. She was a middle child with two younger brothers, an older sister, a puppy, and an older brother. All of the children were the same way, but with different interests. Well, most of them were anyways. It's like the story of the Ugly Duckling, but with people. The older sister was also a princess, but that's about where the similarities stopped. She was average. Yes, she was smart and nice just like the rest of them, but she was just normal. She went to school, she helped out around the castle, and hung out with the few friends she had when she had time. As you can imagine, the king and queen were very busy people. They were always busy taking care of royal business or caring for their children. The average sister didn't usually get all that much attention, so she started doing her own thing in life. She spent time caring for friends in need, looking for a carriage to drive, and getting ready for the day she would be asked to be queen for her mother. She already knew that she would say no, but she needed to find a way to give them the reason why. Her dream was to finish school, get involved in a new church, and live in the big city. She was going to get away from her life as a princess and make a new name for herself. People wouldn't have to know about her perfect family. She would be a strong independent woman that knows how to take care of herself. She would leave the friends and court jester that meant nothing to her behind, but she would keep the important people like her good friends and family members informed of how her new life was. They would all be so proud and excited that somebody had done something so great. They would speak to her in amazement. Everybody would be in shock that somebody that was so ordinary could take their lame life of living in the shadows of a small town and turn it into a fairytale ending. She would go to work everyday, travel the world when she didn't want to stay in her new home, and finally meet Prince Charming just like she always wanted to. The end. As you can see, this obviously isn't a true story, but it's my life. The only part of this that is slightly true is that it takes place in a small town and the princess (me) isn't perfect like the rest of her family. I feel like I've just been slapped in the face by my friends. I've been trying to care for a friend that's going through a hard break-up, but apparently I'm not good enough for him. He had to go talk to my ex-best friend and hear the exact same thing from her. Like I said, the princess was ordinary and wasn't as popular as her siblings. It all worked out in the end though, right? If all goes according to plan these next few years, I'll have that ending. :) Wish me luck. <3 Saved Individual

  1. Keep your dreams, keep your friends, keep your family. When you get where you think you are going(and you definitely will with your strong heart), you don't want to regret waiting for something better to come along. Enjoy your todays because tomorrows may never come. Live everyday with a happy heart, don't fill your days with the grass is greener tomorrows.

  2. I appreciate and accept your view of the situation. However, I cannot honestly say that I agree with you. In most cases I probably would, but you can't possibly know what I feel unless you're me. Things are different from the outside looking in and you only see the whole scene when you walk a mile in somebody else's shoes. Thanks for the input. <3 Saved

  3. I'm not sure you understood what I said. I think all of your dreams and plans are admirable! I think you should get a fairytale ending. I was wondering if you were enjoying the journey. You sound like you will be great in your "new" life, but do you treasure your current one? Isn't the life you are living now making you who you will be tomorrow? I haven't walked a mile in your shoes. Maybe the time is now to get out of this current life and away from these people?

  4. I would like to formally apologize. I'm used to taking comments such as that in a condesending way. Maybe you are right and have valid points. I am sorry for anything I said that may have upset you in any way. I am working on finding a balance currently and greatly appreciate your genuine interest in this post. <3 Saved
