I'm like one of those Disney Princesses

If I had to describe myself to you, I would say I'm like one of those Disney Princesses.
Confortable in my own skin, alive in my own world, friendly with animals.  I love to meet people. I believe in people. And I'm a little bit naive.


I take people for who they say they are.  I believe what they say.  I don't have any reason to believe someone would want to lie to me.  Or do me harm.  Or not pay me equally like others.  I'm very open and accepting of people.  That is how I see Disney Princesses, that is how I see myself.

It's difficult being that Disney Princess sometimes, because I find no one else lives in this world but me.   I am who I say I am.  You can see happy in my face and you can see sadness in my face.

I sometimes come off blunt and awkward because I'm direct.  Sometimes I lack common sense and sometimes I'm bit clumsy.  But I like this about me.  It makes me honest.   I think it's part of my charm.

So when I find someone is not who they say they are, I can't believe it.  I give them time to prove themselves wrong. And I block all the clues that tell me otherwise.  When I wake up from that deep slumber, it's very disappointing.  When I find someone doesn't mean what they say, it breaks my heart.  And I cry and try to make sense of it all.

I wish I weren't this naive princess.  Sometimes I wish I were tough and bitchy.  That way people will stop treating me like they can take advantage of me.

But then I realize that I can't fight who I am.  I love who I am.  I am real.  This realization makes me strong and encourages me to push through all that difficult fight and make a spot for me.  And for other Princesses like me.
