When really were already whole. I read this book by Maria Bello "Whatever...Love is Love". It was so perfect. She touches on the topic of waiting her whole life for her prince charming until she realized she's already whole! I'm so sick of us women waiting and waiting for something that may never happen. This book is so on time, that I bought it for a few of my girlfriends who are in crappy relationships and still trying to find themselves. We are enough! We are whole!

Unfortunately life is so much more than that. I liked the Cinderella movie with Moesha in it just because I like the songs and Whitney Houston as the fairy god-mother but other than that Cinderella has never resonated with me.<br /><br />I do think that some people do settle for less not knowing it because they feel so in love with whomever they are with. Most of the people I know are married. I am not. I have a boyfriend and he isn't perfect but neither am I but what matters is that we love each other and support each other.<br /><br />The "cinderella" mentality won't go away from being exposed. It is socialized into our lives and it must socialized out of our lives.Miss Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909170579043331576noreply@blogger.com
