I grew up on Disney princesses; my house literately lived on the classic Disney films. I know almost every line to the movies and I definitely know every Disney song in creation.
If you haven't seen these movies, you hurt my inner child. We all had those childhood moments when we pretended to be our favorite Disney princess. My cousins and I had many an Ariel singing competition throughout our youth.
At one point in my life I feel like I have related to every classic princess.
1. Cinderella
There have been those days when your siblings truly feel evil and seems like your mother is dumping way more responsibility on you than them; somehow everyone in your house has transformed from friend to foe. I have swept many a floor in the mind set that I was the only one being wronged and oppressed....I was a dramatic child.
2. Ariel
My parents have always been super over-protective, especially my dad, and so I can totally relate to what Ariel was going through and thinking that your parents are being completely unreasonable. I however did not run away and sell my soul to an evil sea witch.
3. Belle
We have all at one point or another felt like we don't quite fit in. Belle was a total oddity for her time and she felt alone because of it...plus I too am a total bookworm.
4. Jasmine
When plans for your future are being made around you and you feel like you have no say in your own life, or you feel pressured by what everyone thinks you need to do, it isn't hard to relate to Jasmine.
5. Aurora
Ever felt like you had no one to talk to? Or all of your friends have a significant other while your a single pringle? Aurora in a nutshell. She even sings an entire song to her forest friends about it.
6. Pocahontas
Some days it just seems like everything you touched fell apart and your world is crashing down around you. But, just like this brave native beauty, we gather our courage and fight for whatever is left.
7. Mulan
"I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed." There is nothing worse to hear from your parents. Ever. At that point I'd just rather they scream at me. Mulan felt like she had let her entire family down just because she was different...but that was before she kicked butt and saved all of China.
8. Snow White
There's really not much to relate to with this princess besides feeling the need to randomly belt out Disney songs, I suppose.
