Not all fairytales begin with “once upon a time.”
Some begin in the middle of chaos.
Some start with a diagnosis.
Some are buried under heartbreak, setbacks, or silence.
But just because your story didn’t start like a dream doesn’t mean it can’t end like one.
I used to think fairytales were only for other people—the ones untouched by pain, those who seemed to walk through life with ease and perfect timing. But life taught me otherwise. It taught me that the most powerful fairytales aren’t the ones handed to you… they’re the ones you fight for.
Every scar you carry, every stumble, every tear—it all becomes part of your plot. And it’s not weakness. It’s your character development.
Maybe your fairytale is not about castles and crowns, but about courage.
The courage to speak again.
The courage to rise when you feel broken.
The courage to believe you still deserve love, purpose, and joy—even when the world tells you otherwise.
There was a time when I couldn’t find the words, when my voice was lost, buried under fear and frustration. But piece by piece, through art, writing, and quiet determination, I built my way back. That wasn’t magic. That was will. That was grit. That was choosing to fight for my fairytale, even when I didn’t know how the next chapter would look.
And you?
You are worthy of a story that shines.
You are allowed to rewrite your narrative.
You are allowed to hope, to heal, and to hold on.
Fairytales aren’t about being rescued.
They’re about resilience.
So if you're in the middle of the storm, don’t give up. Your “happily ever after” might not look like anyone else’s—but it’s yours. And it’s worth fighting for.
Keep going.
Keep believing.
Fight for your fairytale.
