Prince Charming

Prince Charming

Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to be swept away by a guy, just like in Cinderella. Cinderella always made me dream about how one day I would meet the “perfect” guy and we would fall madly in love. Well, it turns out that the prince in Cinderella is only in the story. He is not anywhere to be found in my world. Now that I am 17-years-old, I have realized that there is no such thing as the “perfect” guy. However, every time I watch a movie that is a love story, I think that there is a guy out there that is “perfect”. But then I think to myself, no one, and no guy is perfect.
The perfect guy in my eyes is the one who will someday be my husband. He is the guy that I would do anything for and would hopefully do anything for me. Women now-a-days think that they have a “type”. They think that some random guy is going to solve all of their unfortunately terrible problems. I think that if someone looks for what they think the “perfect” guy is, they lose themselves in the process. Ever guy I have ever been in a relationship with has proven to be the exact opposite of what I want. I do not know what I want exactly yet. I want someone who is going to love me for me. I want to have the greatest love affair that world will ever know. A few things a girl looks for in a guy are: respectful, honest, intelligent, consistent with what they do and say, caring, and well put together. I know how ridiculous that sounds, but until I find the guy that is my prince, I will continue to look for him.
Growing up, my dad was one of my best friends. He was the “perfect” guy in my eyes. I knew that I wanted to find a guy that was just like him. My parent’s always seemed like they could not be any happier. I wanted a family just like ours after I grew up and got married. However, as it turns our, what I though was so perfect about my dad was completely wrong. He is not perfect nor was he perfect. He is as far from perfect as a husband can be. I remember when my mom sat my sisters and me down and told us that my dad and she were getting divorced. She told us then and is still telling us, “It’s not your fault girls. It is between your father and I. Please don’t think any differently of your dad or of men.” Cheating on the person you are in a relationship with is one of the worst things I can think of that someone can do. Well, the sad part about reality is that it happens to people just like you and me. Watching my mom cry for weeks because of what my dad did to her is something I never want to go through or see my kids go through. So, I have come to the conclusion that love will find its way.
Love is a strong word. Saying “I love you” to someone else is a huge deal. I want to be able to tell someone that I love them one day. But I want to be in love, not just love them. I do not want to be played like a guy like my mom was and like so many of my friends have been. I want to fall deeply and madly in love, like in my favorite movies. Love is only a chapter is a guy’s life; but to a girl, it’s the whole book. I want to one day meet a guy that does not consider it to be just a chapter in his life. Part of me wants to believe in love at first sight, but then another part of me wants to tell myself that there is no such thing as love at first sight. Falling in love with someone else is one of the few amazing feelings you will ever experience. Trusting a guy is going to take everything I have, but I know that when I meet the “perfect” guy for me, nothing else will matter.
Cinderella always made me dream about how one day I would meet the “perfect” guy and we would fall madly in love. Well, it turns out that the prince in Cinderella is only in the story. But then I think to myself, no one, and no guy is perfect. The “perfect” guy to me is someone I will only find once in my lifetime. He will love me for me and I will trust him with my entire life. Until you date a couple “frogs”, you will never be able to find your true prince charming. Every girl’s prince charming is going to be different than the girls next to them. After a while you learn the difference between holding a hand and falling in love, you begin to learn that kisses do not always mean something; promises can be broken as quickly as they were made and sometimes, goodbyes really are forever. Prince charming does not exist outside of books and movies. However, if you let love take its course, you will eventually find your won prince charming.

Job

So Friday I found out that I got a job!! I got hired at American Eagle! I am soooo excited. It is one of my favorite clothing stores, so getting a job there is amazing! And the best part is that I fet 40 percent off all the stuff there. I had sooo much fun Friday night. Then I Saturday, I went over to my aunts house and hung out for a little bit with my cousins and his friends. Then I saw the movie, Morning Glory with my aunt. It was such a cute chick flick movie. I laughed and cried and just had alot of fun with my aunt. We went to Chipotle after the movie which made the night even better. Today I worked on this stupid rough draft for this class! I watched three movies before I finally finished the essay. And I am currently watching the American Music Awards as I am typing this. And I have to say that Miley Cyrus is not a singer. She is terrible!!

volleyball game

So today I had to go play in an all-district game at New Albany, because I got awarded first team all-district. We had to be there at 1 30 to have a two hour practice. Then after we practiced we ate pizza which was Eagles pizza... shich if you dont know what that is, youre missing out! Because it is amazinggg!! Then after we ate we had to warm up and play the 12 girls that got awarded first team all-district in division 2. We kicked there butts! I played with and against girls that were on my club team. It was alot of fun and not as awkward as I thought it would be since there were 11 other girls on my team that I didnt play high school ball with! Now I am just excited for club season since the high school season was the worst season ever!!

Banquet

We had our volleyball banquet today. I'm not exactly sad that the season is over. What I'm sad about is that I am done. I am done with playing volleyball at the high school level forever. I am done playing with my best friend. I am done having a terrible coaching staff. But what I am excited for is getting the chance to meet all of the girls that over the four years together became my sisters. I love them all so mucha dn tonight at the banquet made me realize how much we all have in common. Sitting there listen to my coach talk about the seniors and how we have all grown over the past four years and how we are individuals that make up an amazing senior class. I am so happy to be done, however at the same time, I am really upset because I know that I will eventually grow apart from all of the girls because we won't see eachother as much. But I know that the banquet was more of a celebration of what we accoplished, it wasn't suposed to be a sad time. Looking back on my four years playing for the team, I learned so much about myself and how to better my knowledge on and off the court. I relaized that life doesn't always have to revolve around volleyball. Overall, the banquet was a great success and I am so glad to have been a part of something that kept me going through some hard times in my life. Volleyball will always be my passion. I love it way too much to just let go.
