7 Quotes From "Dumplin" That All Little Girls Should Hear

I grew up on Disney; I idolized the classic princesses and their seemingly perfect lives. I wanted to be just like them. As I matured, I realized that fitting into the molds made by Disney would not bring me happiness. Although exciting and magical, it is not realistic. Real life doesn't include princes, princesses, and, sometimes, happy-ever-afters. Here are some quotes from Netflix's "Dumplin" that little girls should be raised up on instead of messaged alike to Disney:

1. "It's hard being a diamond in a rhinestone world." 

Giphy

No matter what situation you're put in, confidence is almost always the way out.

2. "The greatest friends have nothing and everything in common all at once." 

Giphy

No matter where life takes you, it's always better with good friends by your side. Sometimes instead of the differences in personalities clashing, they complement one another.

3. "If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain." 

Giphy

Perspective is what will make or break a person. Sometimes you have to go through rough things in life to get to the good.

4. "Boys do not give girls sweet little things unless they're trying to get their attention." 

Giphy

Contrary to every Disney movie ever, some boys do not have good intentions when they're getting your attention. Sometimes, although not all the time, your best interest is not at the top of their priorities. You have to be able to know when to walk away.

5. "I don't get why we call it a crush when it feels more like a curse."

Giphy

The pain that is caused by the back and forth turmoil of having a crush can sometimes be stressful, overwhelming, and even seem hopeless.

6. "This is me. Back up or back the fuck out." 

Giphy

We don't have time for unreliable people.

7.  "Find out who you are and do it on purpose." 

Giphy

Your actions have to be intentional if you want your goals to be accomplished.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
