I find myself living vicariously through the characters that I see in the movies and television. I secretly wish that I was Isla, wooed by cute bartender Rick with his good looks and charm in Casablanca.
I wish I was Mary Bailey from It’s a Wonderful Life, who was told by her husband George that he would lasso the moon for her, showing the extent of his love for her. I wish I was Baby, who would never be put in a corner by bad boy dancer Johnny in Dirty Dancing.
But I’m just me, looking for my Prince Charming, roaming around with one shoe, hoping I find someone to find my other shoe that fits.
Maybe I want too much? Maybe I’m just looking in all the wrong places? Maybe the person I want to be with is right in front of me but I’m too blind to see?
I want to be the girl that a guy stops and marvels at. I hope to have that one day.
The True Love Tale of Boyfriend and Girlfriend inspired me to write this blog because of how simple and sweet the love between the two characters is. They are quirky and odd, but they have that spark, that connection that you secretly wish you had with someone.
Ever since Valentines Day, it's been the sad love songs and the equally sad love movies that define my life right now. I crave that closeness with someone. Walking down the street by yourself gets pretty lonely after a while.
I honestly don't know why I'm blogging on this. Maybe it's the fact that my best friend is engaged and I feel like a failure for not having a ring on my left ring finger at 21? I feel like everyone around me has grown up so fast. It was only four years ago that I graduated from high school, yet half of my graduating class is engaged, married, or having babies.
Maybe I just need a hug?...
