Post #8: The Only Exeption

Most girls have the same dream...To find that one prince charming we all read about in the fairytale's when we were little. To all those girls, wake the hell up; he doesn't exist.  Seriously, some girls need to get it together. If they keep waiting for "their prince" they're going to die alone (Or with 72 cats).Why do we expect men to be perfect, when we are just as imperfect--and sometimes even worse? Even though we will not find the perfect man, we can certainly find our perfect match. 

I've always known us women can’t ask much of men (This may sound feminist, but they can't deny it). But I never thought I would come across such abhorrences, such men that are better defined as low-lives--as my grandfather used to say--or bluntly, A-holes (I hope I don't get points off for writing that). Anyway, growing up it shocked me that there would be so many around me. Naturally, I eventually developed feelings for some of them. I wouldn’t exactly call it love, but it was something of that nature. Most of them, in their quest to take advantage of me, (Which I would like to clarify was not successful) they slowly broke my spirits--and my heart--with their actions. Most boys at this age have little to no values at all. They don’t seem to care if they hurt the girl they lied to, took advantage of, humiliated, and then threw out like a piece of garbage. Of course, I’m glad to say there are exceptions. Though you might think I’m too young to know what love is, I believe I may have gotten a glimpse of it at this young age. It was a shock, really. I have beaten all the odds you could ever imagine. What would a 22 year old boy—or man, in this case—possibly want with me? A question not only I made myself, but my parents as well. Surprisingly it’s not what you’re thinking. Through the course of a year he proved his intentions were pure, and I’m glad they were. My parents learned to accept him, and as of right now we’re both very happy. We’re more like best friends, really. Some might think otherwise when they know his age, but I don’t care. Age is a superficial matter when you come to think of it. The most important thing—along with maturity and respect—is the existence of true and pure love between the two. Despite my age, I believe I am amongst the lucky few who have truly obtained it.
