Let’s be a beautiful frog princess.

We all know the stories about the princess kissing the frog and then suddenly the frog becomes a handsome prince. We grew up with this story. But what happens if the princess becomes a frog?

Well, I experienced this.

I was a frog.

For a while, I didn’t like myself.

I mean who likes a frog instead of a beautiful princess, right??

For me being a frog means that jealous, angry woman who generally yells at her man and feels like lacks self-confidence, self-love, and self-awareness. As you can see, It is not a physical thing, It is a purely mental thing. Anyway, where we were? Oh yes. I didn’t like myself. So, I did what everyone would do. I struggled..

I fought hard. Until I no longer have the emotional strength to fight. I said emotional strength cause It is not something you can squeeze or punch, It is a mental power against the Frog side. It was tiring. I was tired of fighting and trying to hide. I tried to hide cause I always wanted to look like a calm, confident princess. But I couldn’t hide. He saw my frog side and I met my frog side. I was shocked, I didn’t even know I could have so much hatred and anger inside of me. I guess he was shocked too, that he thought he was dating a princess after all. But surprise baby I’m a frog 🙂 Never mind this is not a story that ends badly. I’m a writer and there is no bad ending in my world.

So after all this exhaustion and facing different emotional phases. I understand that struggle is not the solution. It just took my energy. Accepting was the answer. Of course, I could barely understand that. Sometimes people can reach the real answer after some emotional stage. There was great resistance inside me, and when I was tired of fighting, all resistance was shaped to be accepted. The sea was calm after the storm. I enjoyed the calm sea phase, gladly swam there. And now I can see and accept my frog side. Everyone has a little frog side. But sometimes we don’t want to accept those sides. There may be different reasons behind this. Maybe you’re right to really shout, maybe he was really annoying, but that’s not the point. At least in this story, the main point is making embrace all your damn, crazy, ugly, witch sides, frog sides.
Love from the beautiful frog princess.
