The stories always begin the same: "Once upon a time in a land far far away....." The tale will proceed to tell about a princess/damsel in distress and her hard life that reaches a climax when an evil villain tries to ruin her life. Right when all hope seems to be lost, the dashing prince charming/knight in shining armor shows up and rescues the princess. It's true love at first sight and together on a handsome steed, they ride off into the sunset and, as the ending always goes, "They lived happily ever after...."
For some strange reason, despite being the princess that I am, my love story hasn't been written in the same fashion. Often I'm a damsel in distress, it is true. However it seems in my fairy tale that the villains and prince charmings in each chapter happen to be the same character. And they never come to my rescue. Thus the question has arised in my mind: "Does true love exist? Or does the ending to my fairytale read, "And they lived happily never after....."
I've decided to tell my tale. This is my once upon a time; my love story.
