Once upon a time, there was a prince wounded severely in a battle and found himself waking up in a castle and tended by a beautiful girl. The wound is lethal, but it heals due to the gift of that girl, taking pains from others into herself. Along the time, they fall into love. But the girl, turning out a princess, lives under a spell. The spell wraps her island kingdom in winter all year long and keeps her from leaving the castle. In her whole life, she has never seen summer. The prince means to change that, but firstly the spell binding his princess to winter must be broken...
It is a wonderful and romantic fairytale. And it is amazing to see it also happening in our daily life, in a different way. In the summer, the world is colorful, full of energy. That is just how we feel when in love, happy and excited. However, when loneliness and broken hearts take over, the taste is harsh and cold, just like in the winter.
We all long for a beautiful romance, but it could end up cold. Then some won't trust love or life anymore, afraid to commit. Why? Fearsomeness is the spell that keeps them in the winter. When there is another pair of warm hands with roses, some could hesitate to accept them. What if it ends like last time? What if it could not last forever? What if... The truth is, if you do not take the roses, they will not last for sure.
A lot of surfers I met complaining about loneliness, feeling low. In most cases, previous failure in life or love is the criminal. Tragedy might be touching, win Oscar title, receive more stars in the forum. But it cannot be the tone set for life. Not everyone understands the point of moving on. Some may choose to stay where they got heart broken and mourn in the entire life. Under this circumstance, even if the prince shows up, he probably could not convince the princess to take a ride with him, no mention to fight the way out together. Life goes on, so do we.
Whenever a window closed, there will be one more open. Life is more like sailing in the deep blue sea. If there are no storms, sunshine will not get much appreciation. Fate has everyone play falling in love with someone. So, do not hesitate to take your prince’s hands and ride with him. Do not think twice when you hand over your princess the rose. Life is beautiful, isn’t it?
