Tale as Old as Time

To say that things can change in a blink of an eye. One minute you are convinced of a truth in your head and another, your perception is flipped. I am a girl that can most definitely define and perfect the definition of hope. Hope is what kept me running when I didn't think that out of the 4,168 colleges in the country, I would be accepted to my dream college. Hope was what kept me going when my cat, Angel ran away and hope is what kept me to continue looking for her even after my mom told me to give it up. And right now in this very moment, a single text has given me hope that maybe I'm not Ana of Arrendale, but maybe I am Belle. Maybe I need to look into the heart and soul of the man that I call my boyfriend and see the beauty within that others cant see. And maybe this one text may change my whole life...or at least perspective of the night..er day? And it changed for the better. 

 As I sit here at work telling lousy kids to be quiet and go into their dorm rooms (for yes that is one of the jobs an RA does), I feel lonely. He isn't here and I realized that I missed talking to him. As if he read my heart, a beautiful text was sent to me stating "Tomorrow you are not working. I want to take you somewhere nice. You are a princess and you deserve it." Maybe he read my last blog and is catching on to me... Nonetheless, I realize that there is a lesson to be learned. Belle did not solely read the summary of the books that she borrows from the man at the bookstore, no. She reads the entirety of the story, never jumping to the end of the story too quickly and fully understand the context before judging if she likes it or not. In that way, I suppose I should do the same. For things are never as they seem. Someone once told me something important. Always remember that you do not need to explain yourself or prove anything to anyone. If they cannot except you for who you are, then its time to move on. I guess instead of talking so much I should be listening more. He may seem like a beast but it was evident to me today, he has a heart of gold. He is trying, and its time I give him credit. So honey, if you ever read this, thank you. Until tomorrow...
