Girl, You're A Princess

When did you stop acting like it?

Girl, You're A Princess
Thought Catalog

We had just finished watching Rapunzel and I looked over to see Eva Kate's glowing face. Her eyes were focused on the screen and glued to the princesses' every move. But it wasn't until the prince kissed the princess, that Eva Kate turned to me and giggled. Her cheeks were red and her heart was fluttering. I for one, have seen all the princess movies and I wouldn't lie and tell you my heart doesn't do the same thing. But watching her swoon over the love story opened my eyes and pulled me into a conversation with God Himself.

"I love you that way." I could hear Him say. "Tell her that I love her that way."

So I did. After the movie was over I pulled Eva Kate aside and braided her hair to end her begging. I promised to help her pick flowers to put in it as soon as I told her something super important. When I told her, her eyes lit up just as they had when the prince pulled the princess close underneath the lantern lit sky.

Do you know how exciting it is to tell a child that she is loved by The King? Do you know how beautiful it is to see her excitement when you tell her she's a real life princess? Do you know how reassuring it is to beg her to wait for a man who loves her the way The king loves her heart for simply existing? And then do you know how humbling it is to watch her run off and play, realizing I'm a princess too? When did I forget that? When did I start settling for less than what My King urges me to wait for?

Even tonight I'm sitting here wondering what and who God has for me. The exciting thing is that I know for a fact, because He promises that whatever and whoever it is, it's gonna be good! Oh, how sweet it is to know that our God has never and will never break a promise. His promises are true and His love never fails. Wait for the man who knows that pursues you with the same type of love. The type of man who could never imagine breaking a promise to you because God would never break a promise to you. Wait for a man who sharpens himself to look more and more like Jesus every day.

Wait, girls. Wait for it.

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.
