One for the ladies!

I will find you.
No matter how long it takes, no matter how far --- I will find you.
-Nathaniel to Cora in The Last of the Mohicans -

Ladies, think about the movies and the novels you once loved. From  Titanic, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, my all time favourite; Anastasia. The novels, Sense and Sensibility, The notebook, and so many others! See the heroine in each story, all princesses… if not, they are all princess-like right?

Wonder why we love them? Why we cherish their story? Because we too long to be treated like a princess, be a princess, to be the beauty, abducted by the bad guys, fought for and rescued by a hero.

Almost every girl once played the game “kidnapped and rescued” – or some version of it. Like the princesses in each tale – we wanted to be the heroine and have our hero come for us.  I simply want the feeling of being wanted and fought for.

But not everyone admits. J Most pretend that it is less than it is. Why? Because we wanted to be called strong rather than emotional.


But don’t you see that you want this? To be desire, to be pursued by one who loves you, to be someone’s priority? Most of our addictions flare up when we feel that we are not loved or sought after. At some core place, maybe deep within, perhaps hidden or buried in her heart, every woman wants to be seen, wanted, and pursued. We want to be romanced.     CAPTIVATING John & Stasi Eldredge
