In a thoughtful mood

Back when I was a little girl I used to believe in fairy tales. I imagined a perfect life with all the people I loved. I thought one day prince charming would step into my world and turned it upside down. I just wanted a happy ending like in the books and romantic movies. It’s amazing because when you’re a kid, you see the life you want and it never crosses your mind that it might not turn out that way. The point is, now I’ve learned that some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end.
Today I see the world with different eyes. The more days I live, the more I realize that not everything in life can stay. Some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance, but eventually those days have their sunsets too. Everything changes and suddenly people you think will always be there, they disappear. They move away. They die.
I remember so vividly a day in December 2002 when my whole reality gave out on me. I lost the one man who saw me grew up, who taught me to smile even through rainy days. What happened to me when I lost my dad was that everything fell apart. All the ways I shield myself, all the ways I delude myself, all the ways I maintain my well polished image – all of it fell apart. My whole world went down. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t control the situation. It was so painful that I wondered if I would ever be happy again.
Still there are moments in my life that, when added together make up the reason I have become who I am today. I have done things. Some I wish I had never done, some I wish I could replay a million times in my head. But today they make me who I am and in the end, those experiences shape every detail about me. If I were to reverse any of them, I wouldn’t be at the exact place that I am now.
I think the reason we find fairy tales appealing because they are not realistic. Now, it’s only meant to be envied and nothing more than that for me. >.<
To day-dreamer,
I don’t believe in fairy tales anymore. Too many horrible witches and black magic in this insane world.
I believe fairy tales are a part of life, just nor prominant
However I think everyone should have dreams either of fairy tales or happy things
That is where our life begins and shaped by our surrounding unknowingly…
i guess everything does happen for a reason rite?
i once came across a saying that goes like God would not bring you thru trials if He knew that you cannot survive it
Just remember that we live with whatever choices we had once made, don’t blame others but yourself, learn to accept and grow up….
and that’s when we look back and realized how far we’ve come along, wherever you are at this point in life
bless…
People come, people go
everything happened for a reason
and we are not the one who is in totally control
Just live life to the fullest, and enjoy each day while we can
You know the old expression, “You are what you eat”?
Or how about, “It’s not who you are, it’s what you wear”?
I think I’d prefer, “You are where you are.”
Fairytales; some people have fairytale endings but not all of us are lucky. But it is only to paint the world beautiful so that it is not hounded by the problems faced. Basically, fairytales are denials, but in a mild way.
Sorry for your loss…
Still, keep on believing in fairy tales. You know what, it’s prob. the best way to get by in this world.
