I watch a LOT of cheesy romantic comedies and Disney movies because they always have happy endings. The characters in the story all seem to have normal lives until one inciting event creates a conflict and starts up the plot line. I'm waiting for that moment. The moment when a guy I like finally sees me as more of a friend or the moment where I know that I have found my soulmate. It may seem utterly pointless for me to believe in true love because I have barely even dated, but its the hope that keeps me in the game.
It's not easy to find love, especially when you are as awkward and as quirky as I am. I try not to be cynical about that because I know that if I find the right person, he will accept me for who I am, and we will make an a-dork-able pair. I don't want to be with just anyone though. I want to find someone who will add to my life, give me support, and push me to be a better person because I will do the same for him.
Yes, I am a modern day woman, and I know that I don't need a man, and that is true. Is it so wrong for me to want to know what romance is like? No. We all want someone to hold our hearts, and there is nothing wrong with wanting love. I see so many people in relationships, and i wonder how I can have something like that in my life. I may seem pathetic, but I choose to think of it as hopeful. I have hope that I will find my true love someday and have my own fairy-tale. Until then, I will just keep wishing on stars.
