This ain't a fairytale...
There have just been a few events lately (hope you notice the sarcasm there) that help me realize that life isn't perfect and that I can't just allow myself to be a damsel in distress. I need to stand my ground and face a future where my problems won't be solved by a knight in shining armor and his "white horse" galloping into view. Although I am a divine princess, that doesn't mean happily ever after is right around the corner or that true love or love at first sight will pop up at what I consider to be the theatrical, most opportune moment. There is no guarantee that I will be swept off my feet. I need to learn to say no and to be by myself. I can be stronger.
You are right. Usually life doesn't turn out how we have planned it, but it turns out ok and oftentimes great. Good for you for recognizing you aren't a damsel in distress! Even though I do have my prince charming, I still live my life and have to deal with my own problems. It would be easiest if someone else could tell me what to do, but sometimes/usually we all just have to girl-power up and follow our instincts, our hearts, and the Spirit.
