A Princess True

Traditionally a princess is a female born legitimately to a king and she usually has a decent chance of marrying a king when she grows up and ultimately becoming a queen.

Contemporarily the word princess connotes how special and adorable we find a young girl to be.  She may be lavishly spoiled with attention and anything else she desires until she becomes so accustomed to royal treatment that she will one day incorporate the word "princess" into her e-mail address or various usernames or vanity plates, etc.  And eventually her peers may refer to her as a princess as well though, unfortunately, in a less flattering tone.

Personally, I think a princess is a pretty girl who transcends the temptation to manipulate the world with her physical beauty.  Instead she does what she can to brighten our lugubrious reality with her kindness; infecting us with irrepressible joy and happiness... so focused on loving others, she rarely spares a moment to wonder or worry if she is herself loved...

But she is.  She is loved and she is a princess true.

This is something that would happen if it happened

My girlfriend asked me how long do I want to live and I said 121 and she asked why I wanted to live that long and I said because I want to break the world record and she asked what I was going to be doing with all that time and I said I was going to be breaking the world record and she said, "No, I mean how are you going to preoccupy yourself between now and then?" And I said, oh, I don't know. And she told me to make a bucket list so I sat down and after a while she asked, "So what's on your list?" And I said, "Only one thing." And she asked me what I wrote so I read it to her, "Before I die I want to make a bucket list." And she said, "You just did make a bucket list." And I said, I know. And she said so now you've done the only thing you want to do before you die. And I said I know. And she said so now you have absolutely nothing to do for the next 78 years. And I said I know. And she said that's depressing. And I said I know. So she sent me to a shrink. And he asked me if I drink and I said, "I don't know, what are you serving?" And he said, "no, I mean as a question of lifestyle, do you drink?" And I said "oh, I don't know, I guess so.... socially.. you know, if there's no one else around." And he said I have accountability issues and I said, "yes, I do, I know, but it's genetic, so not my fault really, is it?" And then he said I'm in denial and I said, Ummmm.... no I'm not.
