We all have to let go of the Prince Charming complex and realize he doesn't necessarily exist in the package we assume he'll come in. –Gabriella Union
I remember the first time I saw him. No it wasn’t love at first sight, and no my heart didn’t skip a beat. I felt none of those cliché feelings that fairytales make us believe we are supposed to feel when we see our Prince. Over time as I got to know him, he became so much more to me then a friend. He became my shoulder to lean on in times of stress. He became my best friend and my biggest supporter. Zirren my boyfriend is the special person in my heart.
I first knew Zirren would be in a sense my stress ball when it came down to just itty bitty problems. When I and my female best friend would

No matter what I did he was something like my personal sideline cheerleader. I remember when I told him I wanted to lose weight he was right there by my side. At our old high school whenever we didn’t have band practice or he didn’t have baseball practice he would come with me to the little gym. He was there motivating and pushing me whenever I felt like it was too much. He would tell him how proud he was of my progress. Even now in college we both go to different schools, but he’s still supporting me from a distance. Whenever I’m in the rec center working out I can hear his voice in my head saying, “You got this Babygirl!” If anything it pushes me more and makes me want to work harder. Zirren has always supported me from an academic point of view as well. We pretty much had all our main classes together so whenever there was something I didn’t understand he would explain it to me. He was my own little tutor. When we were graduating I was named Valedictorian. So I had to write my Valedictorian Speech. I had no help, no guidlunes to go by, nobody to assist me in the revising and editing of it. Zirren stepped in and did all of that for me. Because Of him I was able to deliver I wonderful speech. I don’t think he’ll ever understand how much his support and love has means to me. He has helped me realize the kind of woman I want to be for myself and for him. I could never thank him enough
Albert, my boyfriend at the time, and I initially were just really close friends, three years prior to our romantic relationship. He would accompany me wherever I had gone, and I would do the same thing. We always would tell each other everything. There was trust that had gotten stronger over time, he always was there when I needed him and I was always there when he needed me. He was my best friend and was my boyfriend. Best friend, as in I literally told him everything I would tell my best friend; Boyfriend as in I loved him and cherished him as a girlfriend should.
William Shakespeare once wrote, “Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run.” Little did he know, his words would leave an enormous impact on the novel A Separate Peace. The quote, in more simplistic terms, means do not
He’s just always been there, a sort of constant in my ever changing life. Now don’t get me wrong, we didn’t talk everyday, or even every few days. We would go through spells when we were inseparable, and then we would only see each other at school. This had no effect on our relationship. Every time we would start to pick back up, we would share the details of our life with one another.
I still remember the first time met him, it was in his second Summer OPS, but was my first summer in St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy. So, we became the roomates. He was so kind and nice, he always helped me with his smile. As an international student in a military school, he taught me how to play by the roles. In the academic area, he assisted me to fix my English pronunciation and also tutor my literature class. Individually, he always got 3.5 or above GPA; He spent one school year achieving 5 military
Written by John Van Epp, Ph. D., the self-help manual How To Avoid Falling In Love With A Jerk, offers the “foolproof way to follow your heart without loosing your mind”. This book is unique compared to the numerous dating books out there, which were written by authors without any legitimacy to their words of advice. Van Epp reveals years of research on marital and premarital happiness that he claims will help people to break the destructive dating patterns that prevent them from finding the “love you deserve”.
His recruiter came to our house and knocked on the door one night. My mom immediately had a sad look about her and a few tears, my dad on the other hand had a proud twinkle in his eye but I knew he was worried too. We all said our goodbyes and then he left. I always remember him having to go away a lot after that and I was always waiting outside the day I knew he was coming home. I would always put on my kid BDU’s and hide in trees or bushes portending I was on a military mission. I had looked up to him and thought he was the best. Then the day came where he had his orders to be stationed in Germany for three years. Now me a little kid thought that Germany was hostile and he was going to get shot at. I remember he and I were the only ones at our house and he told me he was leaving. I remember asking him why and told him to stay. I said are you going to die, he said now because he would have a rocket launcher. I asked if he was going to get shot he said maybe but he would have Kevlar on, seeing as his MOS was a machinist. I started to cry and he hugged me and said he would be fine. I always look back on that and laugh because I was a typical little bro. After those three years in Germany he came back and was
You both are so prominent in my life and I could not be more thankful for that. This year has brought about a lot of challenges, while also many good times. Like, showing up to Disney at six in the morning after not sleeping the night before. Or finding out that I have a high chance of surgery, but you both were there through it all. Thank you for always loving me in the good and the bad times. “You taught me to do the right things. You’ve given me everything I will need to make it through this crazy thing called life. So don’t you worry about me. There’s no way you’ll ever lose me”; YOU’RE STUCK WITH ME, YOU TOO

Prince Lir first sights Lady Almalthea near the end of chapter nine, and is entirely captivated with her beauty and seducing charm. Lir is described as very young and naive, especially since women are not very common on the castle’s grounds. He, familiar with how fairy tales go and how heroes are to act, brings Lady Almalthea various gifts of dragon’s heads and goofily attempts every heroic deed he can configure. However, Lady Almalthea is remains relatively unimpressed and uninterersted. Lir proclaims, “I like being brave well enough, but I will be a lazy coward again if you think that would be better.” (Beagle, 178). It is clear to the audience that Prince Lir is pure and innocent, and doesn’t have the slightest idea how to attract the attention
Through the thousands of images, sounds, and words that viewers see flashed or play out on a screen, it impacts their identities and relationships, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy (Palmer, 2013). In other words, because television is so popular in this era, children are more susceptible to Disney’s stereotypical definition of beauty and it can cause a lot of damage to these children since “television viewing has more of an impact than just entertainment; it influences our attitudes and perceptions about ourselves and others” (Tonn, 2008). Furthermore, since all the princes in these Disney movies look similar, it sets an image of how the perfect guy is supposed to look and that everyone else that doesn’t look like that is ugly. The princes in these movies are typically tall and skinny, but slightly muscular. There has not been a Prince Charming during this era that doesn’t fit this criteria and that looks completely different then all the previous Prince Charmings. This image not only affects boys that don’t fit the criteria but it also affects girls that expect every guy to look just like the typical Prince
In my dreams, we discussed finances and planned for my future. He helped when I purchased my first car, my first home, my commercial building, and my second home. His sound advice guided me as I invested in stocks and CDs. Though people praised
He took care of me and even traveled to CVS to obtain my medication. As well as continuously checking my condition every day. No matter what time I contact him, I constantly know that he will be there for me. As of today he still lives in California, but I know that if I ever needed him he would definitely fly out to New Jersey to support me.

Prince Charming does not exist. Niccolo Machiavelli stresses in “The Qualities of a Prince”, that a prince needs to meet the needs of the majority in order to be a wise leader. He also stresses how hard being a prince can be, due to the juxtaposition of the needs of the common people. A prince has a very specific agenda he has to follow, with little room for error. A prince has to be willing to do whatever it takes in order to be a wise leader.
