the desperate old school house wives book club

How imagination got the best of them 


I've realized some thing recently that..
i probably already knew
but 
as girls
 at times
we base what we expect from our relationships
from what we get from the media..
crazy isnt it?
but its true, if you look back to the early writings in the 1800's 
stories( i learned this is in english.. also crazy) most plays and novels 
were written for the upper class nobles who could afford them.
And the only people able to sit around read&daydream 
were the 
noble's wives..mostly known as the "desperate old school house wives"



mostly because it was an escape for them 
this being because 
 they were married for money or social standing .

They would read these stories of scandalous noble women and their chivalrous knights that ride in and rescue them from their utterly boring lives of wealth &and..sewing. 
but i can see where they're coming from..
one of the rules of courtly love mostly created by the desperate old school house wives book club leader the queen of england at the time.
even though most of these rules were im my view


based on stupid and childish thoughts on love.
..i digress 
the rule was that no one should be with out love (unless there were insinuating circumstances)
 that no one deserves to not be love.
even though this was talking strictly about romantic love
i totally agree. 
no one should be with out love.
over time the media has tried to keep up
with our demanding wants and magical imaginations 
& create these chick flicks 
that do exactly what they are made to do
..
make us embrace this romantic idea of what
love should look & feel like.
 to take us away from our own lives. to get us lost in 
these magical stories 
 instead of embracing reality and investing in honest real 
relationships.
sometimes we just need to get past feelings that get us into 
trouble more than they profit us.
and wake up 
when the movies over 
and find out what real love is.
i've realized it doesn't have to be someone who
 you can kiss every time you see eachother.
sometimes its a best friend who
 will give up their time to hear you cry over the phone til 4 in the morning and 
still 
text you back the next day to see if your ok.


all im saying is
no one deserves to be with out love.
 changing the definition and qualifications of 
what its considered love
to meet some idea that makes us feel happy 
for a moment 
isnt going to help


maybe we have to come back to reality  long enough to 
find something we thought only
 existed in our dreams.
