As little girls, most of us are read bedtime stories. Most of these stories consist of an evil nemesis, a prince, a beautiful princess, and a happily ever after. Cinderella found her Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty was awakened with true love's kiss, and Snow White's prince rescued her from the evil Queen.
All of these stories seem great until we get older and apply those same principles to real life. Most women grow up secretly waiting on that handsome prince to come and save the day. Some women boldly, seek their prince charming and are labeled gold diggers while others constantly strive to one day awaken a love that no evil stepmother, dragon, or evil Queen can thwart. This is... and excuse my language, bullshit. Fairy tales are polluting the minds of young girls just as soap operas and sappy love stories pollute the minds of young women. Yes, we all want to be loved and ride off into the sunset on a gallant steed that in this day in age may come in the form of an Escalade, Benz, or BMW. It's time that we be real and keep it real. We are psychologically programmed to want that happy ending. We want that extra bit of serotonin released so we can feel happy about fictional bullshit. The truth is… what if Snow White ended up with Sleepy Dwarf and still had her happy ending although she ended up with a narcoleptic little person? What if Prince Charming really said, "Cinderella, you are gorgeous, and that couture dress is bad, but if you can't keep up with your own shoe how can I trust you to be the Queen and manage my kingdom? Ill take your sister. She is not much of a looker, but her body is banging' and she is responsible." Truth be told, everything doesn't have to be perfect in order to have your happy ending.We must teach our little girls the truth about fairy tales. The truth is this: A prince should not be defined by what he has, but what is in his heart. xoxo, Krystale Jane'l
