Dear Girls,

I know growing up as a child you all dreamed of having your own Prince Charming, like the ones on fairy tale books and Disney movies that paint a picture of a perfect man who’s tall, dark and absolutely handsome. Someone who’s kind, considerate, charming but slightly mischievous. Someone you’d fall in love with instantaneously and live happily ever after with.

As you got older though, your idea of Prince Charming was slowly changing thanks to those stereotypical romantic (comedy) movies. To you, he is still like the Prince Charming you’ve known back then but a little more. He’s sweet, he’s romantic and he’s funny. He’s understanding, quirky and everything you’ve ever dreamed of. He’s someone you’d willingly go through everything with, through the ups and downs, just so you both can end up happily together.

You were taught by those novels and movies that guys are supposed to make all the important first moves, that we are supposed to sweep you off your feet and then we’d fall madly in love with each other. You play hard to get while we try our best to be a gentleman.

Truth is, it usually doesn’t work out that way. People aren’t perfect. Not everyone has the guts to say what they truly feel. Not everyone is brave enough to accept rejection. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be loved by the person they love. And people don’t always have the best intentions. Some stay awhile. Some don’t.

But although it’s kind of messed up, and far from the movies, your Prince Charming will come someday. Perhaps not in a horse, in a carriage or in a sports car. But chances are, he could be just walking on bare foot towards you and you won’t even notice it yet, because certain things take time.. and some things happen within a blink of an eye.

And ladies, one more thing. Don’t wait around for Prince Charming to come like you’re a damsel in distress. Because you’ll never know that while you’re waiting on the top of your tower, you won’t be able notice the guy who would do anything for you down the staircase. Sometimes you have to go looking for yourself. It’s better to come across with someone who might change your life than just to wait around for someone who might never come.

Sincerely,

Me
