This is for the girls who believe in fairytales.
This is for the hopeless romantics who watch too many romantic comedies and have memorized every word ("If you’re a bird, I’m a bird."), but still cry at the ending (I’m looking at you, Nicholas Sparks). Ali and Noah have obviously set the standards for true love and their death tragically beautiful. We all want to die in our lover’s arms, right?
This is for the girls who believe that they’ll find their Prince Charming with the blinding smile and the Ken doll hair (But we all want Zac Efron or Ian Somerhalder, am I right, ladies?). You want to be Snow White or Cinderella and find your happy ending.
You watch these television shows and movies and you ship these couples and you find yourself wishing you could be them. I mean, Chuck and Blair are obviously goals. Chuck is perfect, despite his flaws, and Blair loved him endlessly in spite of everything. And we all know they’ll be in love forever (xoxo, Gossip Girl).
You want a soulmate. You will finish each other’s sandwiches and you’ll burst out into song will you realize your love for that person (and no one will stare at you funny). The heart eyes emoji will be the only way to express the way you feel and you feel yourself grinning to yourself and thinking over all the conversations before you go to sleep. You don’t want to sleep because you’re afraid you’re not going to be able to talk to them as much as you want to.
To the girls who believe in fairytales, from the girl who was a cynic until someone (and despite my unromantic tendencies, watched one too many romantic comedies) helped me to see that fairytales do come true. You meet someone and you swear you hear Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” and you wonder if you’ve been rick-rolled (back at again, Rick).You meet someone who looks at you like you are the moon and all the stars. They admire you and connect your freckles and imperfections like constellations. They tell you that you are their moon and all their stars. You think Nicholas Sparks is finally writing your life and maybe life is a John Hughes’ movie.
To the girls who believe in fairytales, don’t stop believing. Dreams do come true and keep on hopelessly hoping. Believe in love and don’t let it go. Hold on to your standards and don’t lower them for anyone. Believe in magic, believe in happy endings, believe in soulmates.
To the girls who believes in fairytales, thanks for believing for me.
