big girls don’t wait


Some of fairy tale stories told us that princess always waits for the prince to save her. Rapunzel waited for the prince to save her on the tower, Cinderella waited for the shoes to fit in her foot, Snow White waited for the prince to give her true love kiss that can save her from the curse, and Princess Aurora waited for the prince to save her from long sleep. Even in the ancient years, our late grandma just waited for the wedding proposal and there’s almost no such thing in finding their own love story. But we’re not living in those ages anymore or in the fairy tale books. In this modern year, women become more independent. Some of us have stop waiting for the prince to save us because we can save ourselves.

I don’t want to be saved by a knight or prince. I can slay the dragon by myself. If there is any fairy tale that I want to take as a good example, it will be Beauty & the Beast or Mulan. I always adore Belle. Belle’s not a princess and she did not wait for the prince to save her. Instead, she’s the one that saves the prince. I want to be like her; independent, smart, beautiful and she did not care about her partner’s look or how much money that he has. If the beast is not a prince, I bet she’s still going to fall in love with him because of his personality and his brain. But I don’t want to change a beast into a prince or kiss every frog and hope it will turn into a prince charming. On top of that, I don’t want to be saved too since I’m not a princess. I want a true love story but I’m not going to wait for it to be happened. I believe that we must find and create our own fairy tales and happy ending in our own way.
