Is our life really a fairytale? What are the secret codes?

We are all obsessed with these fairy tales. This is a modern fairy tale where there are no happy endings is the common phrase which we have been listening since we grew up. 

Fairies and evil spirits, noble kings and queens, beautiful princesses and brave princes, mysterious castles and abandoned huts somewhere in a thick a wood… This is all about fairy tales.

Fairy tales are always associated with childhood which always reminds us that love rules the world and the Goodwill always defeat the Evil. 

I was raised to believe in magic, fairy tales, and true love. These stories were the influences that were intended to mold my mind; the things that were created to stir my imagination. Granted, most of the dragons in my life were people with bad intentions, but each story helped to build a stronger version of myself; even if it was just while I was reading.

But the only apples I grew up with lacked any trace of coma-inducing poisons. The only people who helped me cook or clean were my family. The only beasts in my life resided in my own head. There was no magic, just illusions. There were no fairies, no evil villains. The only “tales” in my life were on animals; tails. True love became a thing people only talked about and was quickly replaced by desperation, lust, and infatuation; coupled with dating apps and friend requests. It was no longer something that would happen naturally or over time. I grew up with magic, but once I matured, the only magic I knew was left behind in the books of my youth. As the time passed by life became monotonous until I met the love of my life. That day I came to know that a real life could be a fairytale if we want it to be. The real prince is not only tempting in his looks but the one who can protect you, whose mere presence is more powerful than a fort. All of a sudden, I started to feel magic in all the once boring places where my beasts previously nested. My dim corners and vacant spaces were suddenly vivified and occupied with thoughts of him. The warmth of his touch, a feeling of his kiss, the colors I once saw as faded and dull suddenly turned into glistening and exotic hues. The people I once viewed as mundane are suddenly more stimulating. My dreary and monotonous outlook on life has become more optimistic and spirited. My world has become more beautiful. The books always cautioned about tragedy and complications. That, I think, is the only part that I’ve found incorrect. With him, the man I never thought I would ever find, there is no tragedy that awaits me; no life-altering complications are in the distance either. I truly do feel that all of the tragedies and villains that have been a part of my life are now conquered: that maybe this is what “happily ever after” looks like.

I could finally prove to myself that love is something that sometimes “just happens.” He came at a time I wasn’t looking for anything, and I’ve happily stumbled upon something that could be everything. I convinced myself of the thing I thought would never find. Love doesn’t always come in our happiest times; it sometimes comes after years of struggle and despair. Love isn’t just a few pretty words in some old books. Love can be an amazing feeling that, if you work for it, could change you forever. I think that’s what they meant by “happily ever after.” 

Hello there, hope you all are having lovely days and magical nights. This post is just for you so that next time you encounter any difficulty, just make sure to keep these difficulty codes in mind which might make your life equivalent to the miserable life of Cinderella or the magical luck of the Beast that earned him a beautiful princess, despite being ugly. Never lose hope and always remember that you are the real prince or princess of your life’s story. Fairytales themselves tell us that life is the name of uncertainty and if there is no pain, there will be no gain. They tell us how we have to wait and be patient with life in order to extract all the positivity out of this world. Life never plays easy on anyone. We all have to go through them tricky trials and failures at times. Fruit can never be reaped without love, patience, kindness, hope, positivity, sharing and generosity. If we take an example here, Cinderella had to face all the miseries and sufferings like domestic violence, poor status, body shaming, and lower self-esteem from her stepmother as well as stepsisters but she survived all these thorns and rose beautifully. We all have a savior of our life as the fairy Godmother rescued Cinderella. This magical imagination will not only make your life worth it but also will help you in being brave and courageous. Relate your life with the fairytales and if you don’t feel like your life is the imitation of any, make your own fairytale. Have your own dream princess, your own difficulties, and villans. If I talk about my life, I think I am Queen Elsa from Frozen as my life is full of tricky promises and hard trials. I am extremely strong but at times harmful to my loved ones. Isolation is my ultimate refuge. I am Queen Elsa. Who are you?

Adios xx
