Do I Want You Because You're Wonderful?

Me: Mom, I'm so old!
Mom: Then, it's time for you to date. You need to go out there and find someone.
Me: Mom, you say that like it's such an easy thing to do..

So one of my favorite movies of all time was on tv today. Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella ft. Brandy and Paolo Montalban. For this blog, I would like to break down the song, Do I Love You Because You're beautiful, with my commentary. Hopefully, 5 years into the future I would share the same enthusiasm for the name of love.

Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?
-Beauty is skin deep. Isn't that bullshit fed to all of us over our lifetime? Sure, you see mediocre guys dating super hotties. Everyone has different tastes. What's ugly to you, is love to me. There are many guys that are mediocre. But there are some that has something charming in their appearance. And I hope there are some guys out there that see something charming in this mediocre girl.. But because I'm so sassy, it's hard to see the beauty in me. Should I be more girly and flirt to get more guys to notice me? Should I flaunt my DD every chance I get? nah.. What would that accomplish? A boyfriend who's attracted to my fake, empty personality? How long can I keep that up? Not very long. I hope that someday some guy will see the beauty in me and love me for who I am. Not expecting a fairy tale life. Just a fairy tale love..
Am I making believe I see in you a girl too lovely to be really true?
-Love is funny sometimes. Messed up other times. You can fall for a person within 5 minutes of meeting him. Then, you go home and daydream about the wonderful person that he is. Fantasize about all the great things he'll do for you as your boyfriend. Well, aren't these thoughts ever so deceitful.. Many adults think I'm wonderful with a sunny disposition. To my parents, I'm jealous, lazy, stubborn, and bitchy. Well, who's right?
Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?
-This is a question that we should ask ourselves when we are in too deep within a relationship. We all get blinded by love to the point that we don't know the realness in front of us. Often, an outside friend would put their two cents in and if it's something bad about the guy, we wouldn't hear of it. We would rather lose a long time friend for a guy that has blinded us. Would I? Maybe. I'd probably make up an excuse that they just don't understand him, don't understand our relationship. My love for him. While they see all too well the person he really is. Is he wonderful, because I want him? Or is he wonderful simply because he just is..
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as beautiful as you seem?
-I think this is what they are to us: a sweet invention that we make up to satisfy a part of us and was created by all those fairy tales. I can't even count how many times I've thought about being swept off my feet by a prince, singer, actor. I imagine the awesome conversations we would have. And they were enamored by my innocence, honesty, and sincerity. I blame fiction. Does fairy tale love even exist? Will I ever open myself completely and give my all to one person? It makes us so vulnerable. Will I be able to trust anyone fully with my heart? I would hate myself if I gave my heart to the wrong person and it returned unmendable.
