True Love

Sometimes I wish I were in a fairytale. I was thinking about Ella again. I began to think about how wonderful it must be to know someone loves you for exactly who you are and nothing else. The prince loved her because she made him laugh, because of her conversation, because of her spirit. They didn't even kiss each other until he had proposed marriage. How beautiful! In today's world, everything is dominated by outward appearance. How we dress flatters our figures; the jewelry we wear shows how wealthy we are; every woman must wear makeup everyday to be normal. Many men base their attraction to a woman on how "hot" she is. Ella Enchanted, however, is a perfect example of true love rooted in deep admiration of one's character. That is so rare! I hardly ever wear makeup, honestly because I never have time to put it on, but sometimes I am glad I don't. This is me; this is who I am. I will be loved because of my character, and nothing else. Then again, I guess I better go work on that character. Part of being loved is being able to love in return, and that says a lot about character.
