A FAIRY TALE...
All of us have grown up reading the fairy tales having a princess and a knight in shining armour with a happily ever after end. but not many of us have wondered what happens after this 'happily ever after'. Do the prince and the princess get married? And if they marry, do they face the same situations, same tussles that we share after marriage? Now, one would that that they are the prince and the princess- the future king and queen of their kingdom so obviously they would not have monetary issues but money is not the only issue. How will Cinderella look holding one child in one arm and another in her other arm and one pulling her hair, ever thought about it? Would Snow white nag her prince when he will not listen to her? We have never thought about it!!!
Obviously the Utopia created by fairy tales is short lived. As one grows he/she comes out of it. A person becomes practical and faces the realities which are far different from these fairy tales. No prince will come and bend on his knees to propose you. No one will be enchanted by just your one look. And the boys, most probably, you will not find any damsel in distress waiting for you to help her!
But what if you never want to come out? You are so terrified by the reality that your own fantasy world is an escape from the harsh realities, is it escapism? Being in a state of denial is also like this when you are just not ready to accept. usually it happens as a post-traumatic experience but eventually one accepts the reality. I hope i will also some day. Till then, I am the princess waiting for my knight...
