You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

Life is like a fairytale

"Once upon a time..."

Our story started so unconventionally (8 years ago). It was quick and straightforward and not very typical of a fairy tale. But as I was browsing through the different Disney princesses' love stories, I figured, it all starts in a different way. It's not textbook.So, we met each other and fell in love...and we really did fall in love! It's a really great feeling! It's all "raindrops on roses..." and hugs and kisses. It's (almost) perfect!

Of course, a fairytale isn't complete without a villain. I think we all know who is the villain in our story. And I reckon that villains vary. But there's always one thing in common: villains are always older females who are in a position of power or authority and are always jealous and insecure. One more thing I noticed, villains are almost always "family".


They can be sly and watch you from a distance.
They can be cunning and change appearances.
They can even come with alalays.
Or they can be typical: mean, ugly and evil.


I love fairy tales because I know that it is always a happy ending. That the kontrabida always gets defeated, that negativity comes to an end and the good always prevails. It is consoling and reassuring that way.

And of course, because I know that in the end, the prince always comes, to rescue, kiss or break the spell. The prince saves the little princess who has been the victim of all the cruelty of the wicked stepmother. Sometimes, it is nice to be saved; to know that your prince cares for you and stands up for you and to see for yourself that your prince is very brave and will literally sweep you off your feet.

the prince and the princess always lives happily ever after.
