Finding Magic in My Everyday Fairytale ?

So, I’m not usually the type to get hooked on dramas or TV shows.

But just a few days ago, I stumbled upon a Pakistani drama called Fairytale. Yeah, the word says it all something we no longer talk about... fairytales, the ones we grew up watching and believing in.

And then, as we grew older, we started thinking, “Fairytales? They’re just fiction, right? Just stories. That’s all.”

But here’s the thing — watching this show made me realize something profound, something I want to share with you today, not just as a reminder to myself, but maybe to remind you too.

Sometimes, we start seeing our lives as just a series of struggles, day after day. We think we’ve grown up now, and we can’t possibly live that storybook life anymore, can we?

But you know what?

That’s not true. It’s just not.

Here’s what this drama reminded me of:

• The biggest fairytale we’ll ever live is our own life. The problem is, we’re so busy chasing ‘big’ things, we don’t stop to see it. We don’t acknowledge it.
• It showed me how the most ordinary life, the everyday routine we live, is actually so, so beautiful. We just don’t always realize it.
• You know, those big dreams we have? Sometimes, they’re not nearly as magical as the journey we take to get there.
• Waking up every morning, marrying the person we love, doing our work, laughing with our family over a cup of chai… all those little things we take for granted — they’re fairytale moments in themselves. Our fairytale.
• I want you to try something. Just for a moment, put on some background music, close your eyes, and think about your life. Really think about it. The way you’ve lived through your highs and lows, the people who love you, the moments that have shaped you. It’s no less beautiful than any movie scene, right?
• Love—it’s the thread that ties everything together. Love your people, your journey, your challenges, your victories. Love your life. Because when you look at it closely, it’s all made up of love, isn’t it?
• And you know what else? Sometimes, doing nothing or living a slow, quiet life — that’s beautiful too. I get it, we only have one life, and there’s this pressure to do everything and achieve everything. But if you think about it... we also only get this one chance to really live it.

Shouldn’t we love every second of it?

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.

I felt like sharing this with you today because maybe this is something you’ve been needing to hear.

At the end of the day, this life you’re living — this is your fairytale. You just have to stop, take a deep breath, and look at it with love.

Trust me, when you do, you’ll find your fairytale right there waiting for you.

I hope, from now on, you’ll love your life a little more.

Here’s to your own happy fairytale. ??

By the way, I am listening to this song on a loop right now. ??
