I did absolutely nothing, but dream, today. Today I dreamt about being in a fairy tale. Well more specifically about being in Cinderella. Rodgers and Hammersteins’ Cinderella from 1997 is and has been an obsession of mine since a very young age. There was more to the characters than just a simple love story with magic and charming princes. Cinderella had a personality that I could relate too. She was strong and resilient. She wasn’t afraid to dream and by the end of the movie she gained the courage to make her dreams come true. She was the person I wanted to be. Even the prince was looking for more than a beautiful princess. He looked for character and an independent mind. “I have this crazy idea that I want to be in love when I get married…” to quote him directly. then the music! It never fails to move me to tears, especially the waltz!
I dreamt that I could find a love even close to Cinderella’s. Yet when I wake up, I know that this is one dream that won’t come true. Maybe it’s because I’m too shy or it’s because I don’t dress like a “princess”. But for whatever reason, love doesn’t seem like a possibility for me. So, for now, I’ll continue to find love in dreams. If I keep wishing, maybe my own fairy godmother will appear and help me find my own prince.
