fairy tales <3
i love, love, love fairy tales... i have been reading this book called 'the book of little folk.' it has all these sweet fairy tales from different cultures in it. i love them... i read 'thumbelina' recently, which is a danish fairy tale by hans christian anderson. when i used to dance at my previous studio, we actually did the ballet version of thumbelina, and my teachers chose me to be thumbelina! it was the most fun and special memory.. when i hear the music from it, i still miss it so much. that is a ballet i would love to dance over again...
i love the fairy tales.. something so innocent, pure, and sweet about them... i don't think i will ever grow too old for them. behind the words, there is so much wisdom. like the fairy tales that disney made into movies.. the original stories were so meaningful.. disney made them into something completely different. they are empty now of what they were meant to be.. but i still do love disney movies! i admit it! my favorites being the little mermaid, snow white, and sleeping beauty.
i love reading my fairy tale book... i have so many! and i'm glad because that means i will be reading fairy tales for a very long time!
i am going to be a momma, but my inner child is still glowing. i will never let go of my inner child... i love so many things that children love. i don't think that is a bad thing, an immature thing. i am still very responsible, grounded, and understanding of human life. i just love to play.. to laugh, to draw, to sing songs, to play games. i never want to become jaded or bitter.. no matter what happens to me in my life.. even admist the saddest and most painful things like death, i will never turn away from life. i know that others may look at me and think 'she hasn't been through what i've been through, so she can't truly know what it's like.' and i don't truly know what it's like.. but i will always remember, that even if something crushing and heartbreaking shall happen to me, i want to see the gift.. to see the meaning behind it.. to accept and say yes to life. to cherish the lesson... i don't ever want to allow it to harden my heart.
tomorrow we were thinking about having a dinner party, but our friends aren't sure if they can make it or not.. natalie wants to come down tomorrow, but i don't know if we want to have a tiny dinner party if none of our other friends can make it. we don't really have much as far as food here anyway, so i think we'll reschedule it for when everyone can come all together. mondays aren't much good for dinner parties anyway because everyone has to work, me included! so i think it will be another quiet night tomorrow night.... these dinner parties just don't seem like they want to happen! hopefully this coming weekend we can get one together and then natalie and all of our other friends can come down and eat with us. we were thinking of making potato salad and pear pie! *yummy*
