"Sometimes fantasy's better than reality, Carter."
I'm about to watch A Cinderella Story for the *insert number only God knows* time. I have no idea why I've wanted to watch it so much lately. Actually, I do have ideas, I just don't know if any of them are correct.
The subject of this post is a quote from the movie. I've been dealing with the fantasy vs. reality deal, and you know what I've realized? I'm just afraid of reality. Reality for me has always been hard, because of certain issues I shouldn't speak of publicly. I guess I'm afraid, like Sam is in the movie, that reality is always going to be that way. Sometimes reality is pretty harsh, but there was this quote from the movie that Sam's dad always said: "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."
The step-mother kind of reminded me of my own parents. Like today, my dad was supposed to wake me up so I could go out with him to fill out some applications; he didn't. But at least he'll help me. Whenever I say anything about a job, my mom's like "oh, you wouldn't want to work there." Or the job at Waffle House she was supposed to try to help me get? They gave it to my brother.
And of course, there's the "someday my prince will come" syndrome. I don't need a man, but my gosh, do I want one to share my life with. I really hate that sometimes.
I'm going to watch the movie now.
