So I have one month to finish this thesis for this Master's I'm doing at LIU and it's based on how Disney (style, not Walt Disney, the man) has influenced not just me but other American girls (and apparently not just American girls according to my research) on choices towards the search for a "healthy" relationship. In my paper that I am writing, I wrote:
Women "go to sleep" (i.e. Sleeping Beauty) awaiting their Prince Charming to find them (to awaken them - think about the 2003 song "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence where the singer desperately sings to her partner to "wake [her] up inside") or allow themselves to be trapped in relationships with men hoping to turn their Frogs into Princes, or worse, turn into Ogresses to fit their Ogres (Shrek, DreamWorks, not Disney). But this ingrained idea of "must find my true love" surpasses Disney and their tales.
Now I'm just freaking out about what to do after I officially finish this damn thesis. Ugh!
