Out of all this, there is that one thing we all hope to achieve; and that is getting it right the first time...or second; maybe third? I think it's safe to say that we just want to get it right-- Eventually. That vicious thought of never finding the right love is scary enough to make a person settle into a relationship with the wrong one. You know who I'm talking about: The Frog. In other words, the one you stayed with because you were confident you could change him into the man you've always wanted. You dealt with his lying, cheating, deceiving, using, abusing, or anything else unacceptable. You just knew you had what it took to turn him into your prince. You thought 'If I just keep on kissing him, one day he'll change'. In the end, all you ended up with is warts and a bad case of chapped lips. I admire your unwavering persistence, but the reality is, some frogs are just frogs - They'll never change. Now, you can let these fairytales get you all hyped up and spend your life kissing frogs, or you can commit to doing the necessary work that will lead to finding your prince. And I've never met a woman who liked putting her lips to a frog just for the hell of it. But, hey, if that's your kind of party, rock on. For everyone else, see you inside.
