My Future?

Collide

By: Howie Day

Prologue:

Every girl’s dream is to become a princess. Hell Yeah! Fancy dresses, gigantic ball gowns, thousands of shoes, Million worth accessories, a house that is extremely big and spacious, not to forget those men in their uniform guarding every inch of the palace, you could also go to places and get a chance to meet other royalties. Basically, you can do and have everything you want. But, say hello to my reality! It will never happen. L

Chapter I:

Me singing in the shower  ♫♫Even the best fall down sometimes, even the wrong words seem to rhyme, out of the doubt that fills my mind, I somehow find You and I, collide. Turut-tururu-turut-tururu♫♫ I always day-dream, that someday I would meet my ideal man. Actually, when I was still in grade school, during my fourth grade(I think), I made a checklist. Sad to say, I was not able to keep it. It is written on an intermediate pad paper. I remember I wrote it because I want my life to be perfectly beautiful in the future. I can only recall few statements (the original statements were in Filipino):

 ☐ Handsome

 ☐ Rich

 ☐ An Engineer (because my father is an Engineer, and he is a good provider)

 ☐  Tall

 ☐ Family-oriented

 ☐ Owns a car

 ☐ His surname should not start with the letters A-E (I don’t want my children to be called first in every recitations. My surname starts with the letter C, and in my experience it is quite hard.)

It’s a bit funny to think that all the characteristics I wrote showed that I am a materialistic type of person, but those where the days I’m still young, all I think about is “what benefits me the most”.  

Chapter 2:

(Collide playing as the Background music)

Now I am in college, I believe I am more realistic and mature. I do not plan completing my checklist anymore, it’s too childish. :3 I just go with the flow of my life, people always come and go. I have no expectations, I have no demands, I only want life to surprise me with what it can give me. I don’t care if the man meant for me loves to debate with me, I don’t care if we have differences, I don’t care if he doesn't have a car, I don’t care what's his height, about the course he is taking, nor the start of his surname. I will accept all his incapability and all his flaws. It doesn't matter if we always fight even because of the smallest reason, as long as at the end of the day it will still be I whom he shall say “I love you”. True love really is loving an imperfect person perfectly. My ideal man now goes with only one characteristic:

 ☐  He should love me, my family, my friends, and God above all. 

“Good things come when you least expect it.”

Chapter 3:

I am walking down the aisle, wearing a beautiful long white gown, all eyes are on me, but… what I am looking at is a man waiting for me at the end. Tears where shed while I am walking. Then suddenly, Kring! Kring! (It was my alarm clock) I am day-dreaming again. Haha! Several years from now, I want to get married to a man who is willing to live his entire lifetime with me, only me. I want Collide to be my pre-nup song, I want this playing over and over again during my wedding. I want my life story to be like this. All else may fail, except for my marriage. My husband and I will have this connection that no one will ever understand. Through ups and downs, for better or for worse, we will always be as one, we will be partners for life.

Epilogue:

I may not have everything princesses have, I may not be a true-blooded royalty. What I just want is to meet a man that will treat me like a Princess.
