The first time I went to the movies, my parents took me to see Cinderella . After that day, when I saw a giant pumpkin ripe, I thought there'd come a fairy godmother to convents in an elegant carriage cursilón, that led me to meet a billionaire prince fall in love with me at first sight. No matter that Cinderella was a sadder woman surrounded by dirt, because the best was yet to come ...
Some time later, I saw Beauty and the Beast . In this case, the concept changed: no longer dreamed of a handsome prince, but a horrible beast and grumpy, that after treating fatal, one day I, the supposed princess you rescue some hungry wolves, and then transformed into a handsome man who also live in an impressive palace. Never mind the fact that he was kidnapped in a castle (almost) against my will, because the best was yet to come ...
After watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , I spent a long season with apprehension to apples. And after seeing Sleeping Beauty, afraid to sleep and not wake up for a hundred long years, once again waiting for the brave knight to kiss me save me from my curse. No matter that had been hidden in the woods all his life, or sleep will not kill so many years of starvation, because of course the best was yet to come ...
When I saw The Lion King , my view about animals in general and lions in particular changed drastically. From then on, every time I went to the zoo imagined romantic love story between a male and female, their unborn babies, and their friends monkeys, pigs and other friendly critters. But in reality, everything was equal, because the hope to become friends with the lions gave it a new meaning to reality, and reaffirmed the idea that the best was yet to come ...
But the real revolution came when I saw Aladdin . Yes, definitely this film marked a before and after in my life. I was faced with a whimsical princess, spoiled, stubborn and pseudo-depressive, who was constantly denied every opportunity that destiny offers: a long list of princes were queuing at the doors of its magnificent Moorish palace. A Princess of Moorish eyes, sexy, rich and half naked, who strutted to conquer the evil and love with a thief without a job or benefit. What do you expect thinking that the best was come?
I started to sit on the living room carpet was convinced that would fly, touched the lamps in my house hoping to come out a genie granted me three wishes, and mysterious caves thought to exist full of treasures ... Sure, so far the only Disney character was blue was really genius.
I have already come across many princes in my life, but they were yellow, black, red, green or roses. And not a single genius. Not one.
What I expected to think? What will someone rescue me from my life? A life that never end up in a palace with a prince rich? What I'll never have to worry about work, or hire, or to have friends? Why, if there is somewhere a Prince Charming who is responsible for dealing with these and many other issues. A prince who will love me always, unconditionally, regardless of what I do, whether you gain or lose weight, if I'm sad or happy, whether I give a party or I'm reading in bed, whether I write or see a movie .. .
But worst of all, you still think, even today, to my 25 Añaza, the best is yet to come ...
