5 Fictional Princesses Who Once Ran from Their Problems—Just Like Us!



Running away or avoiding problems is something we've all done at some point in our lives. Why? It often boils down to three main reasons:

  1. Emotional discomfort: Facing certain issues can feel overwhelming.
  2. Fear of failure or rejection: We dread the thought of being let down or rejected again.
  3. Temporary stress relief: Running away may offer short-term relief from anxiety.

However, once that brief relief fades, we’re left with the same problems waiting for us to face them. Does that feel familiar? Don’t worry—these five fictional princesses have been there too, and their stories show us that it’s possible to overcome fear and rise stronger. Let’s dive in!

1. Rapunzel (Tangled)

In Tangled, Rapunzel initially tries to escape her problems, including the manipulative Mother Gothel. With Flynn Rider’s help, she ventures beyond her tower and discovers her true identity. Despite moments of doubt, Rapunzel eventually chooses to confront Mother Gothel. By outsmarting her, Rapunzel not only gains freedom but also reunites with her real family, proving that facing her fears is worth it.

2. Elsa (Frozen)

Elsa’s icy powers lead her to isolate herself in an effort to protect her sister Anna and others from harm. Her fear and guilt make her run away to a self-made ice castle. But thanks to Anna’s unwavering love, Elsa learns that love is the key to controlling her powers. She returns to Arendelle, embraces her role as queen, and reconnects with her family and people, showing that self-acceptance and love conquer all.

3. Mia Thermopolis (The Princess Diaries)

Mia Thermopolis is thrust into the spotlight as the heir to the throne of Genovia, a life she never asked for. Overwhelmed by the pressure, she briefly runs away from her responsibilities after a series of embarrassing events. A heartfelt letter from her late father gives her the courage to return and step into her role as princess, demonstrating that courage can come from the heart when we least expect it.

4. Anastasia (Anastasia)

After losing her family and memories, Anastasia grows up as an orphan with only a locket hinting at her royal heritage. Her journey to Paris is filled with challenges and moments of doubt. When she finally meets her grandmother and confronts her family’s tragic past, Anastasia refuses to run any longer. She even faces the villainous Rasputin head-on, reclaiming her identity as the Grand Duchess and finding closure.

5. Cinderella (Cinderella)

Cinderella endures cruelty from her stepmother and stepsisters but dreams of a better life. Though her initial escape to the ball is magical, it ends with her running away at midnight. When her glass slipper is destroyed, it seems all hope is lost. But her determination shines through as she bravely faces her stepmother’s manipulation and seizes her chance to prove her identity to the prince, ultimately securing her happily ever after.

Conclusion

These fictional princesses show us that running away may offer temporary solace, but true growth and happiness come from facing challenges head-on. Whether it’s Elsa embracing her powers or Mia stepping into her royal role, each story inspires us to confront our fears and responsibilities with courage. So, the next time you feel like running away, remember: if they can do it, so can you!

3 Reasons Why I Chose Amsterdam as the Setting for Double Minority Hanna

 As many of you may already know from reading my novel Double Minority Hanna , I previously shared the inspiration behind the story, which comes from personal experiences and my community. In this article, I want to delve into why I chose Amsterdam as the setting for Double Minority Hanna and how it plays a vital role in Hanna’s journey. 1. Mental Health Support and Recovery Environment in Amsterdam One of the key reasons I chose Amsterdam is its robust mental health support system and recovery-friendly environment. The city is home to communities, organizations, and a cultural attitude that promotes a positive outlook on mental illness. This is why Hanna, following her brother's suggestion, moves to Amsterdam. The environment contrasts sharply with that of Indonesia, where mental health stigma is prevalent and mental illness is often misunderstood as violence or weakness. In Amsterdam, Hanna finds fewer people willing to bully her, thanks to the city's more progressive stance...

The Crucial Role of Physical Health in Mental Illness Recovery

  As you all know, I've recently begun a regular workout routine, starting with just 5 minutes of exercise each day. This is my update on how it's been going and the significant impact it has had on my mental health. For a long time, my doctor has advised me to exercise, but I have always found myself being lazy and putting it off. Exercise seemed like a daunting task, especially when struggling with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. The idea of getting up and moving felt overwhelming, and I was skeptical about how much a simple workout could actually help. However, as time passed, I realized just how right my doctor was! Once I started working out, my mood improved significantly, and I felt much more stable. Remarkably, my symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia have diminished, even after my doctor reduced my nighttime medication from 400 to 300 milligrams. This reduction in medication was a milestone for me, and I believe that my commitment to physical activity played a cru...
