who is your prince charming?
can you describe him?
can you close your eyes and tell exactly how he looks like?
can you tell how he dresses, talks, or behaves?
can you tell what personality he has?
can you tell what outstanding features or characteristics he has?
I can't!
I never was able to tell in advance how he is like or should be like! I can't follow the cliche that he is supposed to be tall, handsome (by some definition), with a smile to kill or maybe a pocket to die for! I cannot agree that there are certain types of people out there with certain characteristics who can be tagged as "potential prince charming" in a generic term. I cannot even agree that based on my needs and priorities, I can filter people and narrow them down into a group among which I can find the one. I can almost like anybody provided that he does the right thing, say the right thing and show the right attitude in the right time, but I do not define "the right" ahead of time, cause it it so relatively dependent on time and space reality that I do not bother to define it in advance.
Falling in love is a process that happens, through which we find the one and form our "Prince charming"! Was he lost? Were we unable to see him? Of course he was not lost and we did see him alright! We might even have been in vicinity of the person for a long time without any intimate interaction in between; only when we open up our eyes and heart, the process of creating some entity which can be our "prince charming" will begin. To me, it is more a "becoming" process than a "being" thing.
I selfishly believe that the prince charming is made, valued and praised by me as creator; he is like a virtual character that exists in a cyber environment and lives within its walls. His dream life as the ruler of the empire or future king will sustain as long as the program is running and the other players keep playing.
Although I do not like fairy tales as their characters are prince or princess at first place but I do like the concept of breaking spells through affection. They say once a sign of deep affection is shown in the form of a kiss then the loved one, be he or she, changes into another form of being, different form what he/she was, into what he/she can potentially be.
Just watch out, in the process of making, who you are empowering into princehood of your kingdom...
