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.
