It is most probable that some of our female readers have once desired to become princesses. That is a fact that cannot be denied. Like how some young boys imagined their selves as warriors who continuously fight monsters to save the world from evil, some young girls perceived their selves as princesses who are beautiful, classy, and refined.
These little girls, if you will look at it from a stereotypical point of view, like dolls and a lot of 'womanly' stuff, from teacups to Disney Princesses wall clocks. Stereotypically speaking, these princesses would spend their time in the confines of their rooms, outside of which they are protected by their guards.
It is during these times that these little girls think that life as a princess is all about gowns, tea, flowers, and other such things. It is, of course, normal for them not to think of the responsibility such a title entails. It is normal for them not to think that they should serve as role models to the public and not as mannequins whose goal is to serve as some form of entertainment.
It is a just a phase, I guess. We all went through a phase of being carefree, anyway. I am quite hoping that after a series of tea sessions, they would finally come to realize that life is not like a fairy tale that you live happily ever after in the end. Hopefully, the idea that life is a continuous struggle will get into their minds. But that is in the future. Let them live, for now, the princess-y life they have come to known. As for our mighty warriors, well, they'll grow out of it, too. Just don't expect that time to be any nearer.
All UPSable
