In Hot Pursuit of Sleeping Beauty, but she's neither sleeping nor in her tower.

In our last class, we talked about men being the pursuers and women being responders. I am split about this. In society, women are taught this very thing, to wait for our knight in shining armor. All I've seen of girls trying to pursue guys instead of the other way around (I have had experiences with it) and it doesn't end well. I still have that problem. They find it annoying. And I'm not even dressing in a manner to seduce them, just trying too hard to pursue them.

But sometimes we girls just want our voices heard. God thinks we are worth pursuing, why can't guys? I know I come off annoying, but can't I pursue instead of just sitting idle-by and waiting? But, as EVERYONE tells me, you stop looking for it, you find it. To me that is hard. I'm not trying to annoy boys but I just am so split. I may like being lazy, but I am still full of energy too, and sitting by for a man might just kill me. But no! society says, "You're just bothering him. Sit in your tower and wait." I'm impatient. I know I should gain backbone and be ok with being single, but I've had low self-esteem pretty much my whole life. Knowing someone loves me for all I am is so great.

Isn't there guys who would love a girl despite the fact she doesn't see much in herself? God can do it why can't they? Human. Still in my tower, but I might find my own way out in time. Take that Prince Charming, you'll have to chase me down, because I'm worth it, and I won't keep waiting.
