Prince Charming. As young girls, we are taught that one day Prince Charming will come and sweep us off our feet, rescuing us from our miserable lives. He is the man that every woman wants to be with and the one that every man wants to be. Prince Charming has been designed to be this ideal person for everyone. He is literally something that was created to meet the textbook definition of the word “perfect." People from all over the world spend countless hours looking for their Prince Charming or Mr. Right. But the sad reality is they are wasting their time, because Prince Charming does not exist.
Of course it would be incredible if he did. Who wouldn’t want to be swept away on a white horse and live in a castle with fancy balls and beautiful dresses. But unfortunately, there is no perfect man. The grass may seem greener on the other side of the castle wall, but you would realize that the grass over there is artificial and soon be begging to smell the fresh grass again. Have you seen the movie "Enchanted"? Sure, Prince Edward was handsome and charming, but he was also the definition of annoying. You’d be ready to send him back into the storybook after spending a week with him.
And one reason you will never find your Prince Charming is because you are not the perfect “princess” that he has been looking for either — nor should you be. You are not some damsel in distress incapable of taking control of her own life. Fairy tales are fiction, but your romance is reality. Real people have character flaws. Flaws and blemishes are what make us who we are. In the real world, Prince Charming does not exist, but neither does Snow White.
