When I told Blake I was pregnant, he handed me a blank check and told me to ‘take care of the problem’. He wasn’t the prince I’d thought he was. I took the check but didn’t follow his implied instructions. Instead, I moved to a quiet town in Texas to start a new life with my daughter Sarina.
Life wasn’t the fairy tale I’d been hoping for. Reality doesn’t pull punches. Romances end, and daughters don’t always know their fathers. Although I tried to pretend everything was rosy, deep down I knew it wasn’t. Life leaves a mark.
Even so, I was determined to live happily ever after. My heartbreak was secondary. Sarina became my world. Years passed, and I threw myself into the role of a single mother. The money dried up fast, but we got by.
I never told her about her father, that truth was too painful for a child. I wouldn’t let one cruel “prince” stain my worldview, or hers. I tried to spare her… that was my mistake. She was young enough to believe the fairy tale, young enough that she didn’t need to know anything else.
The first time she mentioned Daddy Prince, I was curling her hair. Sarina loved curls, she called them ‘princess hairs’— and I was happy to indulge her. I was sitting on her bed, wrapping her long, dark hair into foam rollers. As I snapped the final curler into place, she sighed and hung her head.
“What’s the matter, Sarina?” I pulled back the covers so she could slip under them, walking over to the bookshelf to choose a bedtime story. As my fingers brushed across bent spines of well-loved books, she sighed again.
“When are we going to live with Daddy Prince?” I froze in surprise and turned to look at her. I wasn’t prepared to hear her say ‘daddy’. My throat tightened and my eyes started to burn, but I forced a smile.
“Who is … Daddy Prince?” hesitation came with every syllable. Sarina didn’t seem to notice; her hazel eyes were shining bright.
“He’s my daddy of course. He wants us to live with him in his castle.” she pointed towards her wardrobe; it was castle shaped with a crenelated parapet and engraved doors. The closet was the crown jewel of her princess-themed room. I’d found it on the curb, abandoned in one of the wealthier neighborhoods.
“Mommy, why don’t we live with Daddy?”
I knew a day would come where my daughter would need answers. Unfortunately, I wasn’t ready to give them to her. Not yet. My internal prayer smoldered in my chest, bu

I’ve been on a dating spree this summer, and my biggest observation so far has been that there are so many guys who half ass dating. For instance, so many guys out there don’t understand that it’s kind to ask the other person about their day or themselves (because guess what, that’s part of getting to know each other). Also, if you want to go out, it doesn’t always have to be the other guy asking you out. Believe it or not, you can suggest plans for dates as well! The number of guys who literally expect the other guy to do all the planning is absurd. Put effort into it guys! Get to know someone! Come up with things to do!
Okay so let me hit it off by saying, I really want to find a girl around my age, that I can make my princess. If you are into the "asshole" type of guy, I'm not your man. If you are into passionate, loving and honest men, go ahead and read the whole post.
Hey my name is Ahmad I'm 21 years old and I've lived in germany my entire life. Originally I am from lebanon which is in the middle east. I am 6 feet tall (1.82m) have green a beard and am in good shape. This is what I look like.
I enjoy doing a lot of things. I work out daily for the past 3 months. I am getting in good shape, and also eat well eversince. I also cook for myself occasionally which I learned by watching too many Gordon Ramsay videos. Another hobby of mine is traveling, be it locally or internationally. Having lunch/dinner in newly oponed restaurants, visiting places that are hard to get too or just chilling in the nature with my friends is something I really enjoy. Internationally speaking, I've been to over 15 countries so far. My favorites where Italy and Lebanon to be honest. The Garda Lake and it's surrounding small villages were like heaven. Going snorkling in Lebanon, discovering little caves and hike up the big hills/mountains were enjoyable things I did in Lebanon besides swimming in the ocean.
I'm currently studying business administration and kinda like it. It certainly is better than law (which I studied for 3 semesters). When I'm not doing anything from the above, I either play games (mainly League of Legends, Apex Legends, Stardew Valley), watch Youtube/Twitch or rewatch shows/animes.
I also love learning languages. I started not too long ago, but I speak german, english and arabic fluently and small bits of spanish and french. I'm good at pronouncing things and have been told that my voice is sexy/soothing. That being said, I like voice calls and face time (once we are comfortable together). In those voice calls, I like to be goofy with you. Sing with each other, watch funny videos together or just watch a movie we both might enjoy. I enjoy listening to mostly all music, besides metal. My favorites are rap, pop and slow love songs. Moviewise, I enjoy most things, and even though I don't really enjoy horror movies, they can be fun while cuddled up with your SO
I consider myself a funny and goofy person. I am good at making people laugh, with saying random funny and fitting things, or tell them about things I did in my life, like

As much as my younger selves have fantasized about it, you're not going to save me. Your kiss isn't going to magically bring me to life.
Sure, sometimes I feel like a girl stuck in a tower with back-to-back work from home days. And yes, I have a head of soft, beautiful, and thick hair and I enjoy it being pulled sometimes. But I'm not Rapunzel, and you're not Zachary Levi.
Archetypes exist for a reason. Are there a finite number of stories?
I remember in my sophomore year of high school we studied the hero archetype. You're a wizard, Harry.
You would tell me that my sister doesn't really know me like you do after I tell you she said I wouldn't be in any Hogwarts house, as I'd be a muggle.
I would laugh good-naturedly as I ask you to try one of my snowball cookies -- and powdered sugar dances on my nose and cheeks.
You would tell me about your fears, and I would tell you about mine. Some of them are the same and some of them are different. Our intimacy is simple yet intense in its complexity.
We know and love each other for who we actually are, not who we wished each other were. Sometimes I scream, sometimes you scream, and we always scream for sundaes on Sundays.
Each moment, we are living our stories, in all the beautiful subtleties that break the plot paradigm. Will I be a part of yours? Will you be a part of mine?
I was looking at the legendary chests and saw that it’s Snow White. I have everything but one attraction and Prince Charming and neither of them are listed as an option to get from the chest. How long does it take to add a character to the chests?? There was a TC in the fall and unfortunately I did not win him. Just wanting to complete my collection...
I tried to play some Jazz recently and since I'm not really that much into the whole Jazz classification of the different genres, I was hoping you could aid me. You can get the gist of it from the itunes preview button, if you don't have spotify.
What genre would you classify it as?
not in the sense that I'm a prince or charming in the slightest. Or attractive for that matter
But i got a major

and would love to search for the perfect foot for this glass shoe I'm holding on to uwu ;)
Just realised this and thought others would want to know.
Anyone else think the Prince Charming shower gel smells exactly like the V8 splash carrot orange juice?
I am in a unique situation (for me), where I have a friend who is unbelievably handsome, courteous, genuine and true, and yet I can't cross the bridge into a solid romantic relationship with. Help me make sense of this please... every time I hang out with him I cant believe I'm stupid enough to let him go and not pursue.
We have a history of dating, which lasted over 3 months. At first he was acting more like a good friend, but then quickly ramped up to him bringing me flowers at midnight and after I broke it off to pursue another person, he hounded me for weeks to reconsider.
Why did I break it off? Well I'm an outdoorsy travel nut. Hes a stay at home and chill out watching movies type. I was looking for someone who would push me and be my adventure partner.
Cue the next few flings who were fun but very superficial and cant even hold a flame to how solid my friend is in terms of a loving partner.
Fast forward to today where I keep trying to push my friend to be adventurous but he keeps shooting me down. This is like nails on a chalkboard. I cant even propose a bike ride without some sort of excuse not to. I'm not sure if he understands that hes giving me dealbreakers left and right. I think this is our only barrier as otherwise we want the same things (settle down, children, etc.)
So I'm in the position of torment. Either accept hes really not for me or open pandoras box up again and confront him to tell him why hes making it hard for me to pursue him.
Help a lady out!
for players that are low on EC (like me, i only have 16,000) and don’t own snow white, who is 9,500 thank god
