Special Fairytale

In each little girl's heart, there is one fairytale that never leaves her heart.

I have watched all the Disney Fairytales and maybe several love stories, but there is one fairytale that is too close to my heart that always brings joy into my heart whenever I watch it. I have watched it countless of times and I never get tired of it. From the graphics, to the music, to the story, to the colours, to the voices, to the smallest details of her crown, i love it.

Whenever I need inspiration to draw or to do anything creative, I make sure Disney's Tangled is playing on my background. But there are several scenes, that always makes me watch no matter what I am doing. :)

The First Scene: The opening song.

I love how artistic Rapunzel is. Isolated in a tower, all she can do is create things, and creating things is endless! I mean she baked, read books, made candles, made dresses, cooked, knitted, did ballet, pottery, sketched, painted walls. .  she painted a lot. But. .  in the end of the day, she knew there was something more than the things she created. She wanted to know what was "out" there. I can't help but feel the same way. . . There is so much creativity inside of me, and i love it to bits! But, i can't help but have the feeling of wanting something more than what I can imagine. I want to "see" what is out there.

The Second Scene: When the Rapunzel Healed Eugene's Hand.

Eugene finished Rapunzel's song. . . He didn't let go of her hair. It felt deep for me. Rapunzel showed him her deepest secret, she thought more about his needs and risked the fact that he will freak out. Her hair was her identity, it was her whole being. She showed Eugene who she really was. . and Eugene's reaction was priceless. He was honest enough to almost freak out, but he didn't get scared :) Most men get scared the moment women open up to them. . When Rapunzel shared her story of not leaving the tower, Eugene's question, "You never left that tower. . and You're still gonna go back?" He listened. He saw her heart. :) Most men miss the heart of women.

I loved the moment Rapunzel went near and listened intently when Eugene opened up. Most women does all the talking, and men barely talk because most women forget that they should listen as well and its most likely that its only them that their man would ever open up to. They miss that beautiful moment because of their selfishness. Yes I am guilty.

Lastly, when Rapunzel was smiling and Eugene had to take his attention off of her. :) Such a romantic moment. A lady's smile is what makes her beautiful, i think a lot of women has forgotten this.

The Third Scene: When the King sheds a tear before they release the lantern.

I can't get over the fact that a man. A dad. A high positioned man, a king - teared up. The Queen didn't cry, the King, the father did. This scene feels so real to me. . . A man is crying, while a woman is comforting, that's something deep that i couldn't explain. The love of a father for his daughter is priceless. I wonder where those men are. There are just too much single moms. Where are the men who has a father's heart? Such a rare find. The King's love reminds me so much of God's love for me. .  . :)

The Fourth Scene: The Floating Lights

The music. The scenery. The moment. The midnight sky. Its priceless. I would never ever get tired of this scene.

"Where are we going?"

"Best day of your life, I think we should have a decent seat."

"I'm terrified. What if its not everything I would dream it would be?"

"It will be."

He was there for her. At the time when she is about to face her biggest dream, at a time when she is so scared, when she starts to doubt herself, he was there. He was there and assured her that her dream is beautiful to the point that he even got lanterns for both of them. .  its like him saying, "I am with you in this, i believe in what you believe in, you can do it.". . its simply, wow.

The moment the music plays, I can't help but feel like I am where Rapunzel is. This is a dream wedding for me. .  to have floating lights. The floating lights is quite symbolic. . When she saw the lights, she saw her dream, but the moment she let go of her own lantern, she let go of her childhood dream for a new one. .  :) Its that time that i felt that she let go of her being a child and embraced a new chapter of her life. I want to let go of a lantern the moment i tie a knot with my future spouse. I want to let go of my single life and openly embrace marriage life.

I can't help but think about how Rapunzel must've felt when she saw the lights, her dream ever since she was a little child. . . and how she let it go with someone special. :) I wonder what felt more magical.

When Rapunzel showed Eugene his crown, his most prized possession, he put it down. He gave it up for her; that crown was his pride, that was his life, that was his trophy. When it was Eugene's part of the song,  I saw how much of a prince he was. :) When he stared at Rapnuzel with a smile, it was so romantic. :) It amazing how a man falls in love with a woman. . How he gives up a lot of things just for her :) He held her hand, at that moment he has decided to pursue her. But he knew that he could not love her fully unless he lets go of his past life. He didn't kiss her just yet. :) He respected her. He knew he wasn't worthy of her love yet, he took responsibility just for her. Its simply beautiful. . . Respect is the true meaning of love.

The floating lights on the midnight sky, simply amazing... In real life, it would be amazingly breathtaking.

For now, I will end it here. I'm just so happy at the moment thinking about the lights. :) Will continue to write about the other scenes soon... :)

The Fifth Scene: When Eugene died on the tower, the silence.
The Sixth Scene: The Hug after Eugene opened his eyes.
The Seventh Scene: When The guard opened the doors.
The Eighth Scene: When the Queen and King saw Rapunzel for the first time.

Forgotten Happily Ever Afters

Every little girl had dreamt of a happily ever after. Growing up, sometimes they cling to it, and some forget about them, but happily ever afters surely has a part in each of their hearts.

As these little girls grow up, they slowly see the reality of life. That there is no glass shoe, there is no beast, there is no prince charming, and there is no floating lights. As men began to love them, they forget about the love that they once dreamt of when they were little. Love that is so pure and so innocent. The innocence of love is a rare gem to find.

I was once that little girl. I even dreamt of being with a prince charming! That maybe someday, I could marry a prince. But you know, being a prince charming is not about the title, but its about a man's heart. I still yearn and believe on my Happily ever after. It might not be as magical as the ones on the cartoons that i once watched. . but i know that happily ever afters exist. The innocence of love, despite our stained generation, is still alive in the hearts of the chosen men, who decided to love in purity and not in lust.

I may have made my own mistakes, but I know that there is still hope for an innocent love. Innocent love that is full of joy, full of love, full of pureness, full of kindness, care, trust, and mostly, respect. I believe in Happily Ever Afters, and I know, someday I will tie the knot with my prince charming. :)
