Chasing Rainbows

I don’t have one regret; I have many. But up until recently, one of those regrets turned into a moment of clarity. Like everyone else, I had expectations that were built from the fictional world. I believed in the typical idea of Prince Charming sweeping me off my feet. I was convinced that I would be the “it” girl one day. When I finally reached adulthood and found out what the world was really like, I was sorely disappointed. Being that I am a lesbian, you could say I was not let down to find out Prince Charming wasn’t coming. What disappointed me the most was friendships. You see it everywhere in the entertainment industry: the best friend, the trusty sidekick, and the partner in crime. At the end of the day, those friends would be there for you. In my case, none of them stuck around.
