As little girls we are told that one day we will grow up and find our prince charming. I used to believe that; but now I know that there are things in life that are entirely beyond our control. I met someone that I feel is absolutely perfect for me. He cooks, cleans, likes kids and old movies. But he was married and is now trying to get a divorce. He married someone else that he thought was perfect.
So I sit in contemplation, not of whether or not I should be getting married, but of the dream. The dream that every young woman has of finding a man to be her husband who is unencumbered. No children, ex-wives, or the dreaded baby momma. With all of the drama that comes about in the world who needs the added drama.
I Know of some women who find the dream and I am all for them finding this happiness.
But I ask the men out there in the world to stop settling when it comes time to marry and actually look for love.
My grandmother has told me that I need to stop playing because I should have been married by now. But I do not wish to be married to just anyone, I want to be married to the person that makes my heart sing when I wake- up in the morning and see their face beside me. I want to be married to the person who kisses me with the morning breathe.
I want to be married to the person who encourages me to follow my dream and follows theirs' as well.
Maybe I am asking for a lot but right now I really am not ready to settle.
