Movie after movie, I feel like they all end is some kind of fairy tale love. Regardless of what trouble or hurt the characters of the movie have gone through in the end they find the one that sweeps them off their feet. Growing up I used to plan my wedding with my bestfriend- Sierra. We would go through magazines and pick out dresses and engagement rings, we even picked out the perfect bridesmaid dresses. I thought my life would be like these movies we watched growing up, my life would end in a fairy tale and I'd be swept off my feet. But at the age of 22, I no longer believe in fairy tales, they are things of the past solely for movies. Maybe it's my skeptic attitude for life but I believe the art of sweeping has died.
No longer do men hold open doors for women, pay for meals or ask them out on real dates. Now it seems to be all about hooking up and jumping right into these labeled relationships. What happened to the courtship and spending time getting to know someone. When I hear stories of fantastic courtships I wonder if it has all died and it's truly only in movies. So for all you romantic people out there do some sweeping or something prove to me it's not just a fairy tale. Because until someone revives that fairy tale I once believed in I think I will keep my skeptic attitude and beliefs.
