Embrace Beauty, Celebrate Passion, Appreciate Life

"Torn between reality and fantasy, hopelessly in love with love, a passionate romantic, and a faithful dreamer, so emotionally intense"

Misconception of The Fairy Tale

fairytale
Wrapped up in plenty fantasy, leads you quite ignorant of reality. Many girls, like myself, must have been living with the wrong impression of the fairy tale storyline. The happy ending, kiss of forever, and Prince Charming concept was given such heavy emphasis, that the parts where each protagonist struggled and suffered was never highlighted.

How sneaky and unhealthy is that!

All along I bet you've been comparing your love life to your Disney favourite (to name a few- Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty), and expecting your relationship to resemble crystal perfect and problem free as theirs! When that's all not true!

Of course, the entire movie is a fantasy fabrication, but there are great lessons to learn! Not all immaculate, and therefore similar to lovers in reality, characters in these folk tales too were pained and tested, in such creative ways.
 
Ariel of Little Mermaid sacrificed her voice for the love of her life, Snow White ate the poisoned apple for her forever love, Cinderella suffered shame and ill-treatment by her family to have Prince Charming at her feet, while Princess Aurora was blocked by the evil witch.

Do you feel better now? A little more hopeful? 
There's a battle we all face, to make it to the end. The hardship is a fight, but the ending will be enchanting :)
