Love Exist

Accidental lovers

By Michael Victoria Published 4 years ago • 3 min read

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a kingdom ruled by a wise and just king. His daughter, Princess Isabella, was the apple of his eye. She was beautiful, intelligent, and kind-hearted, but she had one flaw – she couldn't find true love.

Princess Isabella had many suitors, but she could never quite find the one who would steal her heart. She attended balls and parties, and even went on adventures, hoping to find her perfect match, but it seemed like love was never going to happen for her.

One day, while on a horseback ride, Princess Isabella stumbled upon a lone traveler, who was also on the hunt for true love. He was handsome and charming, and he immediately caught her attention.

The two of them began to talk and discovered that they shared a love for adventure and exploring new places. They rode their horses to the edge of the kingdom and continued on foot, exploring the beautiful countryside.

As they journeyed together, Princess Isabella and the traveler fell deeply in love. They danced under the moonlit sky, told each other stories by the campfire, and held each other close during the chilly nights.

As the days passed, their love grew stronger, and they knew that they never wanted to be apart. They returned to the kingdom, hand-in-hand, and announced their love to the king and the royal court.

Many of the courtiers laughed and sneered, saying they were foolish and immature, and that true love didn't exist. But the king, who had seen the love shared between his daughter and the traveler, didn't hesitate for a moment. He blessed their union and gave them his full support.

And so, Princess Isabella and the traveler were married in a great ceremony, and they lived happily ever after. They continued to explore, to laugh and tell stories, and to love one another with all their hearts.

Their love showed the kingdom that true love does exist and is worth waiting for. It is the most beautiful gift of all and can conquer any obstacle. They became the inspiration for all who sought true love, and their story is still told to this day to remind others to never give up, for love is always worth the wait.

Now that we know the characteristics of real love, how can we take steps in ourselves to create a more loving relationship? First off, it’s important to acknowledge that despite these clear-sounding discrepancies between real love and fantasy, many people mistake one for the other. They may even prefer fantasy to reality, because it’s less painful to appear connected to someone than to actually feel connected to them.

Many of us become caught up in the fairy tale, the superficial elements, or the form of the relationship. We may fall in love with the illusion of connection or security of the situation offers, but we don’t let ourselves get too close to the other person. That is because, while most of us think we want love, we often actually take actions to push it away. That is why the first step to being more loving is to get to know and challenge our own defenses.

Many people have fears of intimacy of which they aren’t even aware. We may be tolerant of realizing our dreams of falling in love in fantasy, but very often we are intolerant of having that dream fulfilled in reality. For some reasons, the biggest obstacle to finding and maintaining a loving relationship is often us. We have to get to know what defenses we bring to the table that ward off love.
