Of Beauty, Love and Fairytales

Wouldn't it be nice to be a princess? 
To live in a majestic castle...
To eat delicious meals...
Be clothed in exquisite garments... 
To have all the fame and fortune...
To be be loved by a handsome, kind, valiant and intelligent prince.
To possess captivating beauty, undeniable finesse, true kindness and great intelligence. 
Wouldn't you want to be all that?

That's why those kind of princesses exist only in fairy tales. In the real world, you cannot chose. You must accept what God has given to you. What you are now and what you have exists for a reason. We can want to be perfect but what is perfection if it would mean losing individuality? Would you still be happy living a life wherein everything is perfect? Fairy tales are there to help us dream more and not to fill us with false hopes. For in this world, it is not all about perfection. Real beauty lies within the imperfection.

Facing Reality

Earlier today, I was so pissed off which ended with me getting swollen knuckles.

 I was just letting my frustrations go physically that is. Maybe all the emotional burden got the best out of me. 

Last night was the same, I was complaining about how men were. 

A friend said to me last night that I should not keep on digging up the past. I was guilty of it. I never was the type of person who would find closure alone. 

I always needed that the person involved tell me upfront since I'm like that. But I guess sometime, you have to learn to let go on your own. 

Then as I read through the text of He's Just Not That Into You again, there were flashbacks of my past relationship. 

How I wished that I read this book 6years ago I wouldn't have wasted my time with him. I really think that what kept me hanging on to him despite all the things he did was the same with that the battered wife's syndrome. 

A syndrome that involved women thinking overly positive about a relationship that's clearly abusive. Due to the fairy tale concepts that were injected to us when we were young. I myself am guilty of the common line " He will be different tomorrow, he will be better, we will be happier." Probably it has something with one's ego. 

It's hard to accept that you picked the wrong guy and give up all the efforts you made just to keep him with you. Even-though I saw a lot of reasons to break up with him I kept holding on. I ended up being brutally hurt. It was only after the inhumane break up that I realized those things and like what the book said have faith that there is a better man out there for you. 

Despite the small number of good men out there. You will find one if you are only open to it and if you believe. It's no secret. Faith can definitely move mountains. Just hang on and do go for guys who are not in your standards. Keep your standards simple and achievable. 

When I was a teenager I was so damn idealistic which only makes you frustrated as you grow older. About staying in a relationship, it is easy to judge whether or not to hang on to a relationship or to wait for that person. 

If he makes you happy and if he shows that he love you then that man is really in love with you. 

If not, stop making excuses for him. It won't change the fact. You should just give it up and give yourself a chance to find someone better.

 It's better to be single than be with someone who is a burden to you. In all things, always consider yourself before anything else but be sensitive to others as well. 

It is in loving oneself that you learn to love others. It has been said before. 

We all know well the golden rule. Just try to understand it deeper. 

Every person's actions are derived from what is in his mind and heart. Get a clue. Reality maybe harsh. You are in this real world and not some Wonderland. You won't go wrong if you know what makes you happy and have faith in it.

 It's not the circumstances that make men great. It is the choices that we make despite those trivial life events. 

Stop hiding and deceiving yourself. It will not get you anywhere but in a junkyard filled with regrets and sorrow. Listen to what your heart tells you. We have instincts for a reason. 

The basic philosophy that will get you far is simple. If you are happy with it keep it, leave if you're not. 

The world is wide. Don't put yourself in a box. Open up to the world and in return it will do the same to you. Reality >> face it,learn from it and love every moment of it.

The Truth About Cinderella



Cinderella


Every girl dreams of one day becoming a princess like Cinderella, of living happily ever after with a prince charming...



Finding The Other Pair


Everybody is familiar with Cinderella. A popular fairytale about a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances which suddenly change to remarkable fortune.  A mistreated and impoverished girl. We all know the details of this tale. We all know about the fairy god mother, the glass slippers and the prince charming.

Cinderella's World


Most of us dream of that day when we will finally have our happily ever after where will have a fantastic castle, a beautiful kingdom and a loving prince. It is not a sin to dream for those. We all want to be happy. We all want to die knowing that we have found a true and lasting love.



Cinderella and her Prince

We became so drenched in this fairytale that we ended up wishing for the same luck with that of Cinderella. We go on living from day to day waiting for our prince. A far fetched reality. Cinderella is nothing more but a fairy tale. It will never be reality. In this lifetime, we may find a couple of princes who would promise us a happy ever after but in the end all we're left are nothing but tragedies. That' s reality. Nothing but a dream. Not everyone can become a Cinderella. Most of us are faced with harsh facts.

Cinderella exists only in the fantasy world and it will stay that way. We are all princesses in our own right. We and Cinderella are alike. We live in a despicable world. We may have our own version of the evil stepmother. From day to day we continue to struggle. We continue doing chores just to make things better for us. We fight each day with the help of our friends. We all continue struggling to find for our fairy God mother. The one who'll free us from this world's misery. Our prince may not come after us as we run across the stairs as the has clock struck 12. He may not care at all after the dance and just throw away our glass slippers.

Whether or not we end up with both of the glass slippers,

Whether or not we end up finding our prince,

Whether or not we have a happy ever after ending,

We must make it a point that somehow in our lives we live like a princess and not just a lowly servant of this world.

We have in us all the power to make things come true and the truth is that...

We are our own fairy God mothers, we ourselves can make or break our own fairytale ending.
