Disillusioned
Ok so the
nursery rhythms I heard as a child got me, disillusioned
Believing that in my time of peril, a prince would show up,
riding up on his white horse and save me from a life of destruction and
maltreatment. Wisping me away to a magical place to be taken care of, provided
for and we would live together...happily ever after.
Happily ever after
The writers left some parts out
They forgot to tell me about the struggles
They forgot to mention I would be expected to give up parts
of me to be a “we”
Disillusioned
They neglected to mention I would have to put in work and
compromise
Disillusioned
They neglected to inform me that I couldn't bring my BAGAGE
from my previous relationship or relationships with me into my new one
Disillusioned
They got side tracked on mentioning, I couldn't change or
train another individual into what I need them to be or feel they should be
Disillusioned
I wasn't informed that I actually have a role, a part, a
position to play
Disillusioned
Not only do I have a position, it's a position of submission
Hmm
I wasn't informed that this is not a powerless position, but
a powerful position where there is a leader who fights the battle while my
gifts are held in reserves until the leader becomes worn and weary. It is then
I am called into play.
Disillusioned
My position is not one of powerlessness but a position of
power
There's no I in team so it's not about I; but
there is an M and an E meaning ME and You. So don’t
invite others and their opinions into this thing of ours.
No Cinderella Story; no evil stepmother, some mice, nice
carriage, beautiful dress a ball… a prince coming for me
No Snow White; no evil witches and multiple men saving me.
No kiss that awakens me from???
No sleeping beauty; sleeping through life waiting to be
awakened by one outside of me. A fair maiden lying in wait for
HIM
No; not really, more like:
Vashti. Self-respect will not be made a spectacle of.
Allowing others to disrespect me
Ester. Prepared to do what needs to be done for the
salvation of others, self-sacrificing
Ruth. Learned from elders, listened, followed…Learned
More realistic heroines, no more fairy tales
A life of enlightenment!
