Princess story...

Girls are funny, there is no way around it we are the most awkward human beings out there on this world. Now, I'm not lettin' the boys off or anything because they are just as nuts as we are but girls/women do this funny/weird thing whether they are young or old, and that is having the ability to make up stories in their mind and pretty much just live out those thoughts or dreams in their mind, and not actually have to live a second of it. Not just any stories but fantasy stories. And this happens most likely when it comes to boys/men. Don't deny it girls you know you do it...you find Mr. Wonderful or Mr. Extremely Cute and you start thinking about him and thinking about him to the point where you start this story in your mind of how things would go if he was in your life, dates you would go on, how he would treat you during that date, you would even play out the conversations in your head, exactly how it would go...and even make up everything that he is going to say...It is almost like living a double life but only truly living one of them. There are so many more situations like your wedding day, you have it all planned in your head, written in your playbook of how everything is going to go...oh there are so many others. I bet one of us could write a book on all the stories you have made up.

Does this just set us up for disappointment? Having our lives or alternant lives all written out for us and what if that never happens...what next? How are we supposed to react? Is it easier just to think up those stories and never actually have to live them or would you rather live them? Nothing ever happens how you think it is going to happen....if they happen...confused yet? :) You can have your life planned out to the "T" and it will ALWAYS throw you a curve ball, and it will hit you all of a sudden and you're left with your head spinning and facing a different direction wondering what just happend. The Lord has a sense of humor like that. I don't think that it's bad to have those stories in your head or mind it's important to keep that "imagination" going if you want to call it that, but don't get your hopes up high, because where you are living is in the here and now eventually we all have to come back to reality. That is probably really depressing for some of us. We have to remember though that everything happens for a reason and there is a reason for everything. The Lord always has a hand in our lives whether fantasy or not.

Another thing that we do is take those stories and wish that we can stop time, live out the story that we have made up and see how we like that life and if we like it then we could stay and if it wasn't all that was cracked up to be then we could return to the life that we are already living...it's like those old childrens books that we used to read called "Choose your own adventure!" Test driving different situations before actually going through it...I think we all wish we could do that whether you are female or male.

Oh well, I guess there is no way around it...Girls will be girls and we will continue writing our fantasy stories, placing our own characters in it and living them out in our minds. :)
