“A kiss from true love’s lips will break the curse.”

             Truly, how many Disney movies have said that? True love was a fishbowl we did in class that really made me think. Professor Brady asked questions such as, “what is true love?” “What destroys it?” and “what would we do when it’s hurt or threatened?” I think true love is the ultimate acceptance of one’s self and understanding that just because we have flaws, it doesn’t make us less amazing. I made the analogy to my friend who was going through a lot that true love leaves you with a gapping wound and you’re basically allowing someone to dangle a saltshaker over it. But by saying that you love them truly and fully, you also trust the person holding that shaker to not dump the salt into the cut, to ultimately not hurt you. I think selfishness can destroy true love. I don’t think petty fights and disagreements could make true love fade. If our true love is threatened I believe we will move mountains to help free our love from harm. Our true love discussion also opened my eyes to what other people see as true love, such as a mother’s love for her child.

            I guess if all else fails, Disney showed that if the person you love falls into an endless slumber, you can test if you’re their true love just by kissing them!!
