Fairy tales have devastated the collective unconscious when it comes to love. We don’t need to eat banquets to be happy, nor do we need the story to end with a happy ending. We must try to be happy without stories and not look for a story with a happy ending.
No, what we need is to live happily together, build independent relationships, make our own destiny. There is no choice of enchanted princes or princesses of the pink worlds, otherwise the roses will sting us. They can leave bubbles, but at least we, have learned that they’re doing well, but they can also hurt us.
- There are already many illusions that have been broken.
- We fell off the horse; Love is not how Disney portrayed it.
- Nor how fairy tales wanted us to believe.
Your crown has fallen from tears, princess. Frogs don’t become princes, they never have. Princes no longer carry you, they no longer free you from the dragon, nor do they embrace you that gives you life.
Princesses are no longer what they used to be or what they should be. Now they want to be engineers, not dolls. And if they want to be dolls, a lot of people want to be exemplary dolls. Strong, independent, empowered.
It doesn’t make much sense to be a porcelain woman, fragile and delicate, flying with broom is much better. Farewell to naivety and innocence, hello cunning, ingenuity and emotional independence.
Do I need you to breathe? Don’t die until the prince arrives. Become a witch, play with dragons, feed frogs and prepare the best self-esteem potions in your cauldron. Give yourself priority. Free yourself from the darkness.
And you, prince, get rid of your coat and sword. You don’t have to fight the dragon or save the princess. You’re not happy, you’re just in love. Whenever you want. And you cry, you laugh and you sing too. You’re not made of iron, you’re also made of flesh and blood.
No, you don’t have to save other people’s world before yours. You also have the right to detail, care and emotions. Become the fierce wolf and don’t deny your feelings. Armor weighs, you know that.
Let’s not look for haunted dungeons for evil people, let’s not look for walls or colored plains, let’s look for eyes that make us dizzy, that make our heart beat faster and smiles that we are passionate about, but that are the smiles that we create.
Fairy tales are always a fairy tale with a happy ending, and that’s not what we want. We do not want eternal loves infused in magical destinies and royal banquets. What really makes us happy is to experience our air, full of freedom and madness.
Therefore, we do not have to look for a story with a happy ending, but to be happy without stories, without waiting. No fairy godmother. There are no crowns or frogs. And that the only magic we know is that of self-esteem, for only in this way can we demand a path of stars.
