dandelion thoughts

you are a princess… just not that kind.

growing up, there was always a weird unspoken agreement among little girls around which princesses were better than others. There were some… that were obviously just not that likable, and the truth is it’s because they only cared about themselves. The ones that were loved and cherished were the ones that were wiling to make sacrifices, and hurt for their loved ones—even when it meant not being happy right away.

and take this with a grain of salt because i mean…they are cartoons, but there really is something there. If we all strove to find our own happiness, the world would not have existed thus far. If we are honest to ourselves, we are all indebted to someone’s sacrifices: but the weirdest thing is that we don’t owe them anything at all.

the best part is that we have the will to make our own decisions and to act to what we think and to what we feel: that we are not forced to do good because someone else has done the same for us. and that is exactly the kind of princess that i have always wanted to be.

and hopefully, can still be.
