"Realistic Thoughts"
by HopelessStephmantic
What if jasmine never went to the market place?
What if Cinderella never lost her slipper?
What if Noah never met Ali?
My idea of love would be so much different.
Maybe I wouldn’t get myself in the messes that I do.
I would be more realistic when it comes to love.
I wouldn’t expect so much and make up fantasies in my head.
I would be happy with the minimal effort.
Maybe I wouldn’t expect such elaborate gestures.
Maybe I’d be ok with mediocre love.
But raja helped jasmine get to the market.
And Cinderella’s shoe was found by her prince.
Noah climbed a ferris wheel just to date Ali.
So how can anyone expect me to be ok with anything short of attested love.

This is so true! Disney made us believe in this big, sweeping kind of love that’s hard to find in the real world. I feel like a fool, but where do I know Noah and Ali from? It’s bugging me.
Thanks for the comment and the understanding of where I am coming from! so Ali and Noah are from ‘the notebook’ lol!
THAT’S it. I’ve been trying to think of it for hours and refused to google it for some reason. Thanks for replying! I may have actually gone crazy…
The love stories of Disney are so alluring, aren’t they? Even without having grown up with those movies, there are still more than enough books, music, poems, and art that make love look easy. What’s a hopless romantic supposed to do?
Great piece!
My thoughts exactly.
