once upon a time, in a magical kingdom far far away there lived a beautiful princess. Everyone in the kingdom thought she was a strange girl because she would lock herself in her castle for hours, she talked to herself alot and looked like she was scared all the time. One day the king and queen sat down with the princess and talked about her behavior. They asked her why she acted so weird all the time. With her huge brown eyes, she looked at her parents and exclaimed softly, "I don't want to be a princess".

Her parents exchanged looks of bewilderment and confusion. They couldn't understand why their beautiful daughter wouldn't want to be a princess. They thought and they thought, but after a while they just gave up. So, the princess went on with her weird behavior- stuck in the endless loop of her hopeless dreams.

The princess ended up escaping the kingdom and finding refuge in the cellar of a small library in a village nearby. She read and read and read until she knew everything there was to know about the world. Then she traveled the world and helped a bunch of people.

People say she was an angel, a strange, beautiful angel. Lost in the chaos of her mind. Wanting to go home to heaven but stuck on earth to help fix the wrongs. They say she knew how to do things that made people feel better about themselves, she made them feel safer.

Then one day, 4 years after leaving the castle, the princess vanished. Disappeared along with her unfinished work. Gone. The world missed her. But they knew she would be back again.
She would never leave them, she was the princess of humanity- she would take care of them.

"A human being is a part of a whole. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty" -Albert Einstein
