Fancy gowns, giant castles, those are reasons we grow up wanting to be Disney princesses. But, there are definitely reasons why we shouldn't want to be one.

This was hard for me to understand. I would LOVE to be a Disney princess. Jasmine has fancy pants, Cinderella has famous shoes, Belle has a talking armoire. I made my oldest niece, Madeline call me Auntie Chelle, Princess Belle for like two years.

But then, this morning, I read this article on Elite Daily and I guess being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I'm not sure Caroline, the author was meaning to be funny, but I think the reasons why you don't want to be a princess are pretty hilarious. I mean, life is better when you don't have an evil stepsister.

  1. You don't have to live in a palace or in the ashes.
  2. You never have to endure a deep, long sleep.
  3. You don't have to attend balls to meet men.
  4. The older women in your life aren't evil.
  5. You can show your true self to the world.
  6. You can be loud and proud.
  7. You can fix your problems rather than just sing about them.
  8. You are who you are--and that's that.
  9. You can create your own definition of "happily ever after."
