Prom. Every little girl's fairytale: big Princess dresses, pretty makeup, heels, a date, and lots and lots of pictures! The epitome of youth, a major landmark you'll remember the rest of your life. Prom has a reputation of being a magical evening, one to look forward to and remember forever.
Personally, I've been looking forward to my first Prom for 16 years. When I was little, I would dream about how beautiful I'd look in my long ball gown, how elegantly I would dance, and how dashing my date would look. Prom was the reason I was looking forward to being a teenager.
I say all this because my first Prom was April 2nd. It was everything I hoped it would be and more! But it also wasn't. It was actually really stressful. I wanted everything to be perfect and so I obsessed over every detail. I planned everything from appointments to ride arrangements to dinner reservations. Everything was going swimmingly until my hair appointment went an hour over which caused me to be an hour late to pictures-- oops! (Lesson learned: get an earlier appointment next time.) On the other end of the spectrum, Prom was one of the best nights of my life. I will remember it forever! After the hair fiasco, everything went smoothly. I had a great time with my date and I even got to witness two good friends be named Prom Prince and Princess!
Living in a fairytale doesn't always happen. Dreams don't always come true. But that night, mine did. Never stop dreaming, never stop believing. It just might come true!
