A New Queen

I'm learning that growing up isn't about putting away all that is childish and burying the magic of life and imagination. It's learning to become your own parent. 

And even though, we are usually taught to forget about imagination and the magic of life after a certain age...there are still those wise one's who remember and who can assist in one's maturation process. 

From a Princess to a Queen...The ideal isn't perfection but gracefully embracing mistakes and learning from them. It's not pride but confidence. To me, growing up is just learning to take responsibility...of course things change from when you were a child but in my eyes ~ it can only get better. 

Our human parents are supposed to be our guides...so why would our guides share things of magic...things like Santa Clause or anything fantastical that gets a child's imagination running wild. Why would children be encouraged to have fun, be happy and know that they are loved - if they were not being guided towards such a life when they go out on their own? This doesn't exclude responsibilities and anyone who really DOES go off on their own for a short period of time see's the important of such things like "cleaning up after yourself" ect. But when does having fun stop being important? When does imagination, magic, joy...all those things stop holding value for us? They don't. Every parent knows this as they are raising their children...hoping that when their child goes out into the world on their own they will still know such magic, imagination and joy. 

So, as a new Queen, all I can do is pick up where my human parents left off.
