vale la pena
Fairytales suck. I don't know how to put it any other way. They just do. I'm not letting my kids near them. Ok, that's probably a lie...I'm just annoyed with them right now.
It's different for everyone. There comes a time when a person finally realizes that fairytales don't exist. I had to come to terms with this early in life. I was NOT a magical mermaid who could breathe underwater. A boy might figure it out when he jumps from his bed, hoping to fly, but lands in heap on the floor. A girl might figure it out when she kisses a frog and it doesn't actually turn into a prince. Fairytales set kids up for disappointment and create false expectations for life at a very young age. Even though we all know fairytales aren't real, for some reason we keep those expectations in the back of our mind. Come on. The whole "happily ever after" thing has messed up so many young girls' lives. Sometimes you fall in love and DON'T live happily ever after. The expectation at such a young age is what sets people up for disappointment. Growing up, forgetting about the fairytale mindset is what keeps one from getting hurt. Think about it. Would you be AS hurt after a relationship ended if you had zero expectations for it in the first place. Of course not. Stupid fairytales.
Maybe I'm just in a skeptical mood. Maybe I'm just frustrated at the world. I look around at school everyday and see complete lack of truth. I see lots of great things, but those great things would be a whole lot better if they were genuine. I see pointless, loveless relationships that are simply self-gratifying and I wonder if I myself will have to someday settle for something as stupid. I see facades, and people who don't care enough about eachother to break them down. I don't want surface level friendships. I am so blessed with the people that God has put into my life. Seriously...I can laugh for hours with my friends then five minutes later be sitting in silence simply enjoying their company or talking about things that matter. I think it takes seeing what else is out there to really appreciate the blessings I have. Going on missions trips make me grateful for material possesions. Being in the sorority, I was surrounded by alot of "fun" people. They were a blast to be around, don't get me wrong...but there's just something about having a deep connection with people. I guess you can't truly appreciate the good in life without experiencing a little bit of the bad. Without that contrast, the sweet just wouldn't be as sweet.
I have no idea what any of that had to do with fairytales.
