A Girl's Dream and Awakening: When You Stop Waiting for a Prince, True Love Begins
If you are asleep, a prince will come along and
wake you up with a gentle kiss.
If you drop a glass slipper,
the castle staff will search for it together,
and lead you to love and happiness.
Pushing through thorny forests, fighting dragons,
coming to save you at the risk of their own life—
This is the "girl's dream" that so many girls have painted in their hearts.
"Someday, a prince will come to pick me up and I will be happy"—that kind of story of salvation and love.
But you know,
I suddenly realized it when I became an adult.
The prince isn't really coming...
Actually, I'm the one fighting the dragons,
and even when he does come, he just leaves...
Your partner is another version of you
When you stumble in love or partnership,
it is not just a "misunderstanding,"
but sometimes a reflection of what is inside you.
A partner is like a mirror.
The "ideal prince" you are looking for in the person in front of you
might actually be the "prince" sleeping within you.
In other words,
the "feeling of wanting to awaken to love" within yourself
is being projected onto your partner.
There are days when slippers are better than glass slippers
From the princess story you dreamed of,
little by little, to a real story "customized for me."
Not on a white horse, but on a city bike,
not at a castle, but on the way home from the supermarket,
even if the person playing the prince changes daily—
If you can wake yourself up today,
isn't that already quite romantic?
Work to be guided by love: Saving the princess of the rose forest
Sometimes, deep in your heart,
don't you have a princess character who feels like crying, saying, "I'm lonely... I want to be loved... I don't want to be alone..."?
At times like that, let's try to remember this.
"Oh, wait, I'm the prince."
Immediately put on white tights and pumpkin pants,
swing your cape, wake up your sleepy white horse—
"Princess, wait for me!"
And while shouting that, you rush into the depths of the rose forest.
And then, let's say this to her.
"Hey, did you wait long?"
"You must have been lonely. You did your best."
"I have come to save you."
"I'm so glad you're safe."
"Come, let's leave this place together."
I will carry you in my arms, place you on a horse,
and take you back to a beautiful, warm castle.
The act of going to rescue yourself
It might sound a little funny, but
the strength to go and rescue yourself
might just be the magic that cultivates true "lovability."
After all, if someone like that existed, wouldn't they be ideal?
There's no way they wouldn't be loved.
That is what I think.
That will surely shine a gentle and warm light
on your future relationships.
May the princess and the prince within you
hold hands happily again today.
Next time,
"Why did I fall for such a cold person? - That contrarian guy -"
will be presented.
