pure. honest. love.

one of my favorite quotes is by g.k. Chesterton and it goes like this: "i am concerned with a certain way of looking at life which was created in me by the fairy tales, but has since been ratified by the mere facts." i think its amazing and so true. i have this picture of love from movies like beauty and the beast, and sleeping beauty, and heck, even lady and the tramp. and i want that for me. i want the best... i love in sleeping beauty when the prince fights his way through all of the obstacles and thorns and dragon and fire and he climbs to the highest tower and kisses the girl! i love in gladiator, when maximus fights for what he believes in. not because its popular but because it is the right thing to do. i love in braveheart when William Wallace fights for what he knows is right. yes its hard and difficult and something that not many choose, but its the right thing to do. you may lose everything along the way, but in the end, its worth it. shouldn't every guy want to rescue the beautiful girl? doesn't every little girl grow up wishing she was a princess and wanting to be swept off her feet by her "knight in shining armor?" is that too much to ask? i guess i just want love. pure. honest. love.
