Every girl..............


Every girl always dreams of meeting her prince charming somewhere unexpectedly, in another country, where he sweeps her off her feet and take her away, living happily ever after.  Well the sad news is, is that it doesn’t always work out like that.  In the end, some end up settling for their first loves, others marry their best friends who maybe they are not entirely in love with, while some just settle for the next best thing.  But wouldn’t it be fun, just for one day to imagine what the perfect encounter would be?  If you could open up your imagination and dream of your absolute fairy tale, what would it look like?  This is my story.




I always imagined myself flying away to another country to meet my prince charming.  I never really wanted the plain city life, where people don’t have time to stop for a second and think.  I was always the more philosophical kind of girl, who liked to take long strolls and think about life and its meaning.  That just means that I could never accomplish that in the city, where the air is polluted, and people run around in a disorderly fashion.  And so, I take my journey away from the city and I'm off the Ireland. 

As I board the plane to Ireland, I am writing in my journal about all the little things that make me happy.  Writing makes me happy and allows me to keep my thoughts organized and clear, because when I’m having an off day, I always have a place to turn to let go of the daily stresses.  On the plane, I see people around me ready to go on their vacations, or business trips, while I am just on my way to meet my prince.  When I get off the plane, I take the taxi to the countryside, where the fields are green; flowers are blooming, and the air so crisp it makes you shiver.  I get out of the taxi, and stop for a second to take in the beauty of another land, which is so foreign to me.  I walk down the path, which will lead me to the place I will stay for 2 weeks.  I can barely see where the house is, but nothing seems to faze me, as I am just so happy to be away.   


I enter the house and a woman awaits me, her name is Martha and she gives me all the instructions of where things are located and how to get around in town.  I begin to settle down and look out the window, to see the most
