Fairy Tales. I love 'em but I hate 'em. Because, really, do they ever come true?! What do you think?
My favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast. Because it's the closest fairy tale to reality in my mind. The beast is so unlovable. So monstrous. So angry that he no longer even hopes or wants to be loved. But when a caring soul steps in, the world turns upside down and love truly does conquer all. While it is true that she did not intentionally choose that route, as it turns out, she could never have lived any other way. Her life was made for something more, and she found it down the path that looked most terrifying at first glance. She dared to be afraid. Belle gave up her freedom to save her father, and in turn discovered the most beautiful of all truths. She then gained her life back, plus so much more.
We all have our own dreams. We want an ideal career, a happy family, a loving spouse, a comfortable living. We've all had some dreams crushed. We've had people stand in the way of our sunshine, we've discovered we weren't as talented as we thought, we found out no one is perfect enough to complete us. Life hurts. Dying dreams are a true tragedy indeed. But if we keep on going, taking one step at a time, our hearts soften and we begin to see the beauty within the beast. I've decided to believe in fairy tales. There really are happy endings. Every day miracles happen. Sometimes they are just around the corner, just waiting.
