Castles, crowns, pretty dresses, Beads and everything Princessy
fascinates little girls and my PP isn’t an exception. First toy that she
was fascinated and attracted to was a colorful ball and that gave me sense of
relief that she would grow up into one tough girl but as she turned one there was transition from balls to barbies. She’s created her own fairyland and believes the life of
princess is perfect because in every story though they have struggles and pain
initially but it always ends with “and
they lived happily ever after “. Fact is all stories are cut short and we never got glimpse of their life after
marrying prince of their dreams.
I realized even as grownups we don’t stop dreaming about living that fairy
tale and our life becomes a quest to protect ourselves from wicked witch or jealous
step mother.Though in real life there
are no ugly witches or step mothers to create obstacles but the vamps come in
our life in form of people streaked with envy, revenge, anger, greed or
ego.To run away from that we end up in house of hurt, worry, doubt and discouragement, dreaming about that prince charming to help us free from
this misery. Real life is different from fantasy and nothing can warranty life time of happiness.
We keep chasing for perfect life in the form of having perfect job; staying
in perfect house with perfect life partner and kids with perfect lifestyle
to match with. Life isn’t all happy even after that and there still are
sad tearful days and we embark on another quest. In reality there’s no such thing
as perfect life but its lot chaotic because of our own emotions and expectations. All we need to do is find comfort and peace in our imperfect life and
rewrite our own fairy tale
