A Water Connection
When we were growing up, we fantasized about which Disney Princess we were most like. I was one of five daughters, the middle child. It was a group designation, which Princess we were. And once it was decided, it was final. A lot of thought went into it, too.
It was chosen that I was Ariel. I always wondered why my sisters chose what they did (I suspected it was because I was the singer of the sisters and defiant of authority) but in retrospect, I think it fit in some ways we couldn't have anticipated. Because the pattern of my life has always been breaking away for new adventures on my own. Never fitting the mold of what anyone expects - and not for the sake of rebellion or autonomy, but because authenticity is flat out a necessity for me.
It's funny that I grew up and married a man of the sea.
The water has always had a strong spiritual connection for me. It has a settling presence. I miss the ocean. It will be good for me to remember peace in the upcoming weeks. I hope that when we move (this and next week), I will again find my water.

Yeah, I can totally see you as Ariel. I think she has a disposition that reminds me of you. Hmm... have you ever dyed your hair red?
@MyxlDove - Yes, it was red (auburn, not Ariel red) for a number of years in college and after.
@PrincessPowers - I think I'd be happy to see a picture of that.
Lol, I was Belle. Because I am a reader, and because I took French (...a lot of French...) in school.
@WaitingToShrug - To tell you the truth, I always wanted to be a Belle.
@PrincessPowers - Lol, and I always wanted to be a mermaid. With shells!
