When I was a child, I always dreamed about being a princess. I would love to wear a crown just like those in the fairy tales. For sure I’ll enjoy living in a castle having everything I want and just like any princess on each and every story that my mom used to read, all princesses have their own prince that would do anything just to save them from some evil witch that would try everything just to unnerve them. I constantly dreamed of those sweet and romantic happy endings because I thought that in real life, happy endings do not exist. But I was wrong, really wrong. Life is worth more than any magic that Disney has to offer.
I always say that I would exchange everything just for me to be a princess in those fantasy stories every child would enjoy reading. But now, I don’t think I still want my life that way. I may not have a castle just like all those fairy tale princesses, but I have a loving family which I call my home. I may not have those glass slippers just like that of Cinderella, but I have those fancy havaianas that would not be broken into pieces. I also don’t have dwarf friends like Snow white but I have sweet, gentleman, not to mention super cute handsome guy friends that are always there for me during good and bad times. I might don’t have the wealth to buy a golden ball just like the princess at the frog prince; at least I don’t have to kiss a toad just to have my prince because I have mine already. I just realized that my own story would simply put all those fairy tales to shame and I don’t ever want to belong there, those princesses are living nothing but a boring life and I can’t stand a day being them. I mean, in every fairy tale, the princess would only get to meet one prince, only one. But in real life, there are lots of cute guys to mingle and hang out with. A life full of cute boys, what’s a girl got to lose for? So I can say that I don’t need boring fairy tales anymore, because right now, I’m living a somewhat near perfect life, the life I though would not come true in real life is actually happening to me and that I am currently enjoying this sweet carousel ride-like life of mine or to be exact, a fairy tale-like life.
I can say that everyone has the right to enjoy their lives, just put in your mind that we have the power to make every passing day better than yesterday. We are the author of our own lives and it’s up to us to give it a happy ending. Just like Cinderella, she had a great time with the prince, yet when midnight struck she chose to leave the life she dreamed of together with her one true love. Nevertheless, this unforgettable night made her so happy. What I’m trying to say is, it doesn’t take forever for us to be happy. A moment can do it if we really put our heart to it. We shouldn’t think of the future nor the past, all we have to do is enjoy the present and make the most out of it, because life is a one way street, no matter how many ways you take, none of them leads you back.
