Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a Princess. It's easy seeing as my hair is blonde and my eyes are blue. Of course my complexion is far from perfect and my singing voice has been known to break windows and eardrums....
Anyway, I've always thought that I would have had a lot more fun in life if I could have just been born royal. To clarify-I mean stereotypically royal. Please, oh please, no responsibilities or wars or arranged marriages for me, thankyouverymuch.
Honestly, all joking aside, I would have made an awesome princess. I've got an amazing sense of style, can wave like Julie Andrews and kiss babies like no bodies business. I practically have all the requirements for a princess right there!
Hopefully, that's all that princesses do, 'cause all my other skills can only be applied working in a fast food restaurant.
If I was royal my parents wouldn't be always bothering me about what I want to do in life. Quite frankly, I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life. I have certain goals like starting a family and doing volunteer work. I'm not really sure what I want to do beyond that. After school I'm planning on not going to college until I have my life together and working at a place I enjoy- like my local library or an animal shelter.
However, they seem to think I need to go further then that. I understand that they love me and want me to excel, but you know what? I understand that they want me to change the world and alter peoples lives. But, you know what? I'm not a big person. I do little things. I want to change the world a little bit at a time. I want to be someone children look up to. I want to be that princess that little girls (and even some little boys!) dress up like. I want to help people who are suffering and sick.
I want to be a princess who rules over no one.
I don't want an official title or a fancy crown. I don't need a king or a plot of land or lots of fancy jewels. I don't even really want to be a princess.
I want to change the world.
But only a little bit at a time.

Short StoryHave you ever gone deep inside yourself and sat quietly down for a chat? Despite what others may say, it's perfectly acceptable to talk to yourself. Some of the best conversations I've had, were ones that happened completely inside my head.
