My reality....I don't need to dream

Every little girl dreams about what her husband will be like one day. Movies have taught us to dream big. They have taught us to dream for Prince Charming sweeping us off our tired feet; sweeping us away from whatever hell we live in. Television has taught us to dream for a white picket fence and a husband who will take care of us and pay for anything and everthing we want.

In today's world you are either at the top or the bottom. I don't need to be at the top, but I certainly don't want to be at the bottom. I dont need to dream, I need to do. You can't dream for something if you don't take a chance to make it happen. Life doesn't find you, you have to find it. You can't wait for a man to sweep you off your feet if you are sitting on your couch watching soap operas saying, "Why can't I have that life?". Over two years ago I was definitely that girl. I would sit at home watching Friends wishing to be Rachael (Jennifer Aniston), she had the perfect life and the perfect relationship with Ross (David Schwimmer). She also had the perfect hair! But I realized that I didn't need to be Rachael, I just need to be me and love being me.

In the movies Prince Charming shouldn't get all the credit for saving the Princess' life. She has to find herself and love herself first before she can love him and love at
all. I had my downs with dating until I loved myself and realized that I am good enough and that he should be too. My boyfriend is more than enough. He has shown me with the love he has for me and the love he has for his children that life is more than dreaming.

You were in my dreams and now have become my reality.
I didn't need a fairy tale, I didn't need a castle.
I needed someone to hold, someone to love.
I didn't need a million dollars or a house on the beach.
I needed someone true to themselves, and true to me.
I wanted a reality come true, I wanted someone like you.

Dreams are made of cotton candy, lollipops, and candy canes.
Life is made of ups and downs, the good and bad, right and wrong.
A relationship isn't what you dream, it's what you make.
You can dream for happiness, but only we can make it happen.
My reality has come true, because I am in love with you.
