Don't Be Such A Princess

It irks me when people call me "princess". I feel like it makes me sound prissy or weak, two things that I never want associated with my name. Maybe some people like it or think it's cute, but to me, it's always sounded like a bad thing to be a princess. 

Basically, what I'm realizing this week is that it's important to not be a wimp. If someone asks you to do something, you better not flake out. If you have the chance to help someone out but it requires you to get a little dirty, you should do it anyway. Don't be afraid to try new things or step a little bit outside of your comfort zone. I know that's annoying when people say that, but you won't grow as a person if you're constantly saying "no" or passing up various opportunities. The world can be scary, but it can also be amazing.

If you love princesses and you have a different connotation of them, I'm sorry if I have offended you in any way. I know some people might have a really positive idea of the word and I should be more sensitive, but by-golly, this is my blog and I can say what I like. Anyway, what I mean when I say, "Don't be such a princess," I mean don't be up there sitting in your tower, waiting for the world to come to you. Don't be entitled. And definitely don't expect others to do things for you. You are responsible for your own happiness and growth in this life. 

This was kind of an aggressive post. Sorry, sometimes I just have to get up on my soap box, but I'll get down now. You're all beautiful and I love you and I guess you can be a princess if you really want to! Just be a good princess!
