Woman Porn; a reality check?

So I’ve used all my strength not to write about this topic, but I don’t believe that I can do it anymore. I feel like writing is going to make me sound like a hypocrite, and that’s one things I am not okay with being, but aren’t we all a bit hypocritical at some point in our lives? I believe so, so that is why I am writing this.

Last night I was listening to one of my favorite songs of all time; Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Now some may argue, but I believe that is a truly beautiful song. The song is the perspective of a person so madly in love with another, that they would do anything for that one person, even die. They are desperate for them; they need them to survive, and they can do whatever they would like to them, as long as they stay. (Just a little side note, I am reading the book Captivating by John and Stasi Eldridge, and I feel like this song has very close similarities to what they say about God and his relationship with us, now you know what my next post will be about). Before I continue, here are the lyrics;

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

‘Cause you're my, you're my, true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
‘Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Now, I kind of have forgotten what I wanted to talk about, because I feel sad. Sad because this is what we do to ourselves; I feel that people (mainly women I suppose) write these kinds of songs, and listen to them over and over, desperate to create a fantasy of some sort that will fill the “emptiness” in their heart. In a previous post I called it “woman porn” and it saddens me, but that is exactly what it is. The create a fairytale land inside their head, thinking that one day this will happen to them, that someone will come and sweep them off their feet in this EXACT way, and everything will happen like “this”, and then when it doesn’t happen, they are left disappointed with whatever wonderful thing that they are given. This saddens me greatly, and I’m not going to say I have never done this, but I mourn for everyone that has, because will they ever truly be happy? Think of all the girls and women who (myself included, though I am happy to say I have never wish for any of it to happen) have read the Twilight Saga. Think of how many girls think that there are men out there like Edward Cullen and Jacob Black. THERE AREN’T. But they make themselves believe that there are! What happens when they realize that many men are pigs, and not perfect? They are left disappointed, right where they left off.

I feel badly, because this is not the happiest post to start the New Year off with, but I needed to get this off my chest and out into the open. I hope that in this new year of 2010, people will come back to reality, though the sad thing is, I know they won’t.
