So I just finished watching my favorite Disney movie Aladdin. During the movie I found myself thinking a bit about how I have always had this romanticized idea about relationships. That has become less true over the years. However I find myself still desiring that love story that we have all grown up hearing about.
I began to wonder if maybe this thought or desire is part of what has kept me from actually have sexual relations ( there are other important reasons as well). I thought maybe because I haven't had that "fairytale" love story I have been holding myself back even after reaching the age I promised I would wait until.
I spoke to my cousin about something similar and she agrees ( she also made the promise to wait to a certain age). She feels as though she is holding out for something that may very well never come.
We were both told by my aunt who overheard the conversation that it is what we make of it. Holding out for the right person to "sweep you off your feet" isn't a waste. It may take longer than you would like but dont settle just because you are tired of waiting.
My thoughts on this are that she is a parental figure to us and of course she wouldn't want us to settle for just anyone. On the other hand part of me wants to believe what she says.
I recently began to talk to one of my ex boyfriends and we hung out on Friday. I had a great time.I have always liked him, we had our issues but i think we are past that point now. We will see what happens with that.
I know I am too old for fairytale love but I can still hope I find my Aladdin someday.
