The Cynical Fat Girl Strikes Again!!

As a kid I loved fairy tales! I cheered each time Disney put out a new movie. Every time my mother would go to the video store to rent a movie, I'd ask for "Snow White". Something about the knight in shining armor coming to the rescue appealed to me. When I was in trouble, or upset, or things weren't going the way I wanted them to, I would dream about my own prince coming to rescue me from the prison of my bedroom as I sat grounded! As I got older, I held onto the idea. Not so much that the knight in shining armor would come and rescue me from my troubles. But what girl hasn't hoped to be rescued from the monotony of single life by the man of her dreams. It's a silly idea, but earlier this year, I thought I had a good lead on my ironclad hero. In the midst of the battle raging in my family life, he waltzed right in and took care of my bad guy in one grand swoop. At least that was how it felt! Unfortunately, life isn't a fairy tale! And in real life, men don't date the cynical fat girl! At the moment, I find that I am frustrated with myself. After being alive for almost 28 years, you'd think I would have been aware of these facts. Too bad some of us never do learn.
