PRINCESS DIARIES......:):)

Once upon a time, a little princess was born. She was cute, but aren’t all babies cute? She was sweet, but isn’t that what all babies are? Everyone around loved her and wished only the best for her. The little girl grew up with love, care and smiles around her.
Time went on and people noticed that she was not only sweet but smart, not only cute but intelligent, not only lovable but loving and caring. She loved people and trusted them with the unconcern that is only in a child’s nature. She didn’t divide people into good or bad. Everyone was equally good.
She didn’t know about evil and malice, envy and hatred. She only believed that love reigns over the world. And she tried to live accordingly, which was indeed simple for someone possessing a heart of pure gold.
She knew all about her life in advance. That she would get education worthy of a Princess, she would be working for the welfare of her country, she would meet her Prince Charming one fine day, they would get married and live happily ever after. This is the life awaiting every princess, and that’s how our little girl pictured her future.

She grew up into a pretty teenage girl and when she was sixteen, it happened. First she didn’t even realize what was going on. She felt cold and warm at the same time, she played in her mind the same words again and again, her heart and thoughts somehow appeared to rhyme, and just one simple name conquered her whole mind.
She didn’t know if it was what she thought and she asked her best friend about it. Yes, yes, princesses too have best friends. The girl listened carefully to the worries of the little Princess and announced her judgement, If all what you said, dear Princess, is true, then you are in deep trouble my friend… you are in what they call, “love”.
Is it? The Princess thought. How simple it is. One day you are just a Princess and next day you are a Princess in love.
The Princess was very happy to have found her Prince. He seemed to be the one. And she planned how beautiful their wedding would be. If you count all the stars in the sky, all the grains of sand in the oceans, all the roses in the world and all the smiles that have ever been, then you will have a sample of how much I love you, he told her.
And she believed each word of his.
He didn’t promise her the moon or stars . . . he just stood under them with her.
He didn’t promise her all the gold in the world but he made all her dreams come true.
He didn’t promise to stay with her forever, and one day he left.


On that day, the heart of the young Princess broke into pieces, on that day she learned that people might lie, on that day she got to know that the soul can cry too.
But the Princess was a true Princess; she was not allowed to stay lost and sad. So she collected the pieces of her heart, dried the tears of her soul and smiled like nothing was wrong, talked like everything was perfect, and pretended it was not hurting her.


No, she was not hurt that her prince was fake. And she didn’t cry about friends who followed him and left her alone. And she realized what love meant. Love was giving someone the power to destroy you…but trusting them not to. And she didn’t trust anymore.
Years went by; she finished school, received higher education and never again did she trust people, never again did she believe anyone, never again did she cry for people not worthy of her tears. Little by little she learned that the world is full of unpleasant surprises, that people lie, people cheat, people might get angry, might hate, might pretend. She couldn’t accept it but she had no choice other than admit this bitter truth of life.
One day she met a prince. Of course, she didn’t know he was a prince at first. He was wearing jeans and a sweater, looked at her, smiled and said, Hi, I am Prince, What’s your name?
She looked back at him, giving him the coldest glance she could and replied, Sorry, not interested. I am not talking to strangers. And she left.
But the Prince was stubborn, he kept on following her everywhere, talked to her, helped her out in the worst of situations. And little by little she looked closely at him. He was nice, sweet, helpful. And he really seemed to care for her. She started meeting him on a regular basis. They went shopping together, they read together, they watched movies and then discussed them, often up to late in the night. On such days he kissed her gently on the forehead and wished her good night. She smiled silently and when she fell asleep, she thought about him always.

He walked into her life and stayed there like he always belonged to her. He knew her so much that sometimes it made her feel scared. He knew her deepest secrets; he could heal her wounded soul with just a few words.
Days, weeks, months passed. They grew even closer and couldn’t imagine oneself without another. They laughed, they fought, they talked, they got angry, they hurt but still they cared for each other. He was her strength and when everything went wrong he was always the one she would turn to. He taught her lessons of life and she took them gratefully, he gave her a piece of his heart and she kept it carefully as a part of her own soul.
They say falling for someone the first time is easy… it’s the second time around, after you have fallen and trusted someone to catch you and they didn’t… when it becomes difficult to let yourself fall again. Our Princess was falling without any assurance of being caught. But she shouldn’t have had any worries. Because on one sunny day in spring, her Prince in the middle of some fun conversation said, I think I am in love with you. She was stunned but after a minute asked him, You think or you are? I know, I am, he replied and she smiled before she answered saying I am in love with you, too.

You would think that’s time to say that they lived happily ever after? Maybe it is, as today I am somehow in the mood for a happy end.
So yes, they lived happily ever after. Because I want it so...!!:)
