Like most girls, I grew up with once upon a time's and happily ever after's.
I hated evil stepmothers, fell in love with glass slippers and found fairies and dwarfs as comrades. I have dreamed of daring sword fights, witches and wizards casting magic spells, and singing teapots. I have discovered a whole new world inside a rabbit hole - a world where I can have tea with the most bizarre creatures to walk the world of dragons and magic. Riding a magic carpet, I flew and tumbled across the vastest seas and found a genie's lamp.
I wished for my prince charming: a prince of courage and love. He'd save me from my tower of grief and with a kiss, he'll wake me from my nightmares. He'd sweep me off my feet and on his white horse, we'll travel to his kingdom.
All these turned out to be fiction, though. Just fiction. Everything was meant for the books and not real life.
But I did find love.
It only turned out that what I needed was another princess.
This may be the real world but I have learned that it doesn't guarantee safety from the evil creatures of fiction. Many have opposed this love: trolls and giants who call our love immoral, evil queens who think they're all righteous and other monsters of the dark side.
I believe that our love is as true as the love that princes and princesses in books shared and fought for. Love has no rules, no exceptions; love knows no gender.
I am more than willing to slay the Jabberwocky if it meant the clock won't strike at midnight.
