<p>As a child, I always love and was amazed by stories about princesses. Nice gown, pretty face, elegant attitude .... Shortly, pretty girl inside and out, but one big problem. The world is always not fair, the princess has to struggle for her own destiny, her own happiness. This struggle can be frustrating, but end of stories are always happy ending. For an addition, a handsome prince will come and rescue her from the highest tower, from the dragon, from a mean stepmother etc, and they live happily ever after.<br />      As the childhood gone by, I realize that we all have to write our own destiny, but we can never ... never depend on a price to come. What if there are no prince in quality we expected? The fairy tale always ends by "live happily ever after", but in reality, life does not always end with a happy marriage. It is another long journey.<br />      I decided to write my own princess story. What about yours?</p>
