This past week has been extraordinary. From watching our favorite movies to meeting new friends, we’ve all been affected by the news that our sweet prince, Prince Charming, is now separated from our fair damsel, Princess Diana. It’s sad that a marriage that started out as so fairytale-like has turned into such a fiasco. We’ll always have Paris. But let’s be honest, the magic only lasted until the third picture was released. Then, we all knew what was coming. The couple’s public breakup was a matter of time.
Why Did This Happen?
It’s important to realize that not all breakups are created equal. For some, it was a passing fancy. For others, like Prince Charming and Princess Diana, it was a total shock. Letting go of someone you love and being separated for the rest of your life is never easy. It’s normal to feel hurt and betrayed. To make matters worse, there are people who are reveling in their misfortune. Why should you care? Because, let’s be honest, not everyone is lucky enough to have a fairy-tale ending. We can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened had Prince Charming and Princess Diana not gotten together in the first place.
These are just some of the questions that can consume you as you try to come to terms with what happened. Unfortunately, as with most breakups, there are no quick or easy answers. Think of all the heartache that could’ve been avoided if they had just talked it out. So before you know it, one week turns to two and then four and then six months go by. Before you know it, you’re in a different country, starting a new life, and wondering why you ever thought getting into a relationship with Prince Charming in the first place was a good idea.
Looking Back
Looking back, we can see how much their relationship changed us. The first and most obvious sign that they were becoming more mature and serious as a couple was that we, the audience, started seeing them less as prince charming and damsel in distress and more as real people with real pain. It turns out that being the sweet and innocent couple we knew and loved wasn’t all they were. They were also really upset about something and needed help fixing it. We saw how much they relied on each other and knew that they were thinking when he did weird things like walk her dog or cook her dinner. It was obvious that they cared about each other and that their love was real and pure. Letting go of that innocence and beauty that we knew and loved was both sad and shocking.
On the bright side, at least they stayed together. No one likes to see love and marriage break down. It hurts so much when someone you care about hurts like this and it’s always sad when it’s someone you look up to or admire. We’ll miss you Prince Charming.
What happened to the happy couple is a tragedy. If you’re one of their friends or family, you’re in for a lot of heartache. It’s important to know that not all breakups are created equal, and that talking it out is always better than keeping everything bottled up. Even though you’d like to think that your relationship was so special and that your love would never fail, in reality, that can happen to any of us. Life is not written in stone. One day, you could be holding hands with the love of your life while wondering what went wrong. It’s not fair, but it’s the way things are. The only thing you can do is try to be as honest and open-minded as possible and hope that someday, you’ll find your happy ending.
