I actually stumbled upon this poem awhile ago. But since I was recently asked how I "grew Fairytale Love in my backyard", I'm sharing it here:
Cinderella walked on broken glass,
Sleeping Beauty let a whole lifetime pass.
Belle fell in love with a hideous beast,
Jasmine married a common thief.
Ariel walked on land for love and life,
Snow White barely escaped a knife.
It was all about blood, sweat, and tears,
Because love means facing your biggest fears.

Dear Fry,
This is me sharing "the works of the bandage"
in the words of others far more eloquent than I. =)
XOXO,

Every one of those Disney Princesses took a risk before their Happily Ever After came along. Prince Charming didn't arrive on a Disney-engraved silver platter. Neither did he swoop in and save them from a possible spinsterhood because... well, come on. How can Prince Charming come a-swooping when it's him you're on the hunt for?
Nope, every one of those girls – fictional as they may be – took a risk. They left their castle, abandoned a rainforest, crashed a party, ran into the woods and came out of the sea. They took a risk to get to where they ended up. A risk for the possibility – not even a guarantee, mind you – of finding love beyond their comfort zones.
So, Love is a risk.
And to love is to be willing to risk it all
without counting it Loss if you lose it all.
(Because let's be honest here:
Trust is scary. Insecurity is real.
And Sacrifice is difficult. Right?)
Trust is scary. Insecurity is real.

And to love is to be willing to risk it all
without counting it Loss if you lose it all.
When you really think about it, to even begin investing in the life of another is already a risk in itself, right? And in love, you're either all in, or nothing. If those who dare are those who win, I guess you've just gotta be bold enough to sai lang your heart away if you want your jackpot bad enough. Even if you don't know the cards in the other person's hand. Scary... but necessary sometimes.
Like so many things in life, you've gotta risk it all to gain it all. And if – IF – you pick the right person to sai lang your heart with, you might just find yourself winning the jackpot and walking out of Life's casino with Prince Charming in the bag. =)

ATTN: zecount
– You wanna sailang also you make sure the odds are good lah. Dun bodo bodo sailang then go bankrupt. =p
ATTN: infinitium
– Haha. Not entirely. Just a smidgen. =p
That's a nice way of putting it. :)
ATTN: Lissa
– Haha. The poem's so true kan??
Its not sailang lah, not a game to be gambled upon.....Its laying heart on the hands that you trust knowing that you will not loose out. No fear at all, just plain simple faith! =)hehe
Yus. But the author spelt Ariel wrong. -.-
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– It's not a game. But putting your hand in another IS a gamble. Cos unless that person's God, you never know if they'll love you back as much as you love them.
ATTN: Lissa
– HAHA. I didn't even notice that. Better right it then. =p
To me, laying hands on the other hands knowing that TRUSTS existed is privillige la; a reward by itself.
Cos in Christianity, we dont gamble but we choose to trust in the LORD for life partner. You know, Godly woman and Godly man! Awesome! =)
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– I think that'd be a great approach in an ideal world. But... we're human. With insecurities, baggage and issues. It's sometimes easier said than done. Not impossible. Just harder.
And if you want to bring Christianity into the picture, Proverbs 18:12 did say, "he who finds a wife..." That kinda means you've gotta do the looking and the choosing of that life partner. Not God. =)
Yeah…that true but what I am saying is if you are marrying a God fearing man for yourself, you need not to be afraid of all the insecurities.
Shoud be thinking of where to go for honeymoon or how many kids to have…… Hokkien people says “ Huan Loh Beh Liao one” ………Haha =P
ATTN: Adrian Lim
- No lah. You salah channel already. I'm not talking about marriage. I'm talking about deciding to have a relationship and begin to love only. At a point where you dunno the person well yet.
Wedding also not yet plan how to plan honeymoon and kids? Haha.
p/s: Decided to write this again so that it's easier to understand. haha.
scary but necessary.
love.
:)
ATTN: TracyEm.
– You got that right! =)
XOXO.
