Journaling:
Princess Diana, the royal beauty,
lived a life written about in fairy
tales. She exuberated qualities that
most people adore. She was loved
world wide. Her flawless beauty,
her quiet demeanor, and her candid
outspokenness about matters of
humanity made her dear to the
world. But the reality of her life
was a nightmare for her, a fairy
tale gone bad. Her life ended in a
tragic car accident. It made me
stop and take note that even
though a person may appear to
have it all, the truth is that there
may be great personal turmoil.
And sometimes the price of the
fairy tale is not worth the pain
and heartache that goes along
with the fantasy. I was extremely
saddened that her life ended, not
in peace, but in heartbreak. This
beauty had suffered with an
eating disorder, the seemingly
perfect marriage was a farce. The
prince that swept her off her feet
was secretly carrying on with a
mistress. I learned through her
that faith in Christ is a must, that
riches and fame are not what they
are cracked up to be, that a person
you love and trust can break your
heart and your spirit, and to always
question, "is it worth it?"
