Neither of us gets to be the princess all the time.
In her book "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?", Mindy Kaling expresses a relatable sentiment about the realities of life and relationships. She highlights that in any partnership or friendship, one cannot always assume the role of the favored or idealized figure, often referred to as the "princess." This underscores the importance of balance and fairness in interactions, where both parties must understand and accept their strengths and weaknesses.
Kaling’s reflection serves as a reminder that life is about sharing experiences and responsibilities. Recognizing that neither person can be in a position of privilege indefinitely encourages a healthier, more equal dynamic between friends and partners. By sharing the spotlight and supporting each other, relationships can thrive with mutual respect and understanding.
