Fairy Tales

It is my firm belief that fairy tales are the reason I hate love. That and R&B songs.

Fairy tales always tell a tale of some beautiful girl (who, in my opinion, usually isn't that special) who totally and completely captures the heart of some handsome young man, who is willing to go through hell and high water for her. She manages to capture his heart, so absolutely, that he will risk his life just to be with her.

Who is the evil maker of fairy tales and where do they live? Because I want to kick them and walk away. Why would you build up the expectations of little girls everywhere, damn well knowing that they will be crushed when they make it out into the real world? I'm not saying that that kind of love doesn't exsist. The kind of love where someone loves you so absolutely, that they'll do anything for you. In fact, I think I've experienced it. But they never tell you about everything else that comes with it. The deleted scenes of the fairy tales.

They never tell you that your Prince Charming will be flawed beyond belief. They never explain that the "evil dragon" you have to face isn't always some outside source of evil. Sometimes its a humungous problem within one of you (the prince and princess in this charming little story). They never have a story where your Prince Charming screws up royally (unintentional pun ^.^) and some other Prince Charming comes swooping in, confusing the hell out you. Wait, they do have that story. It's called The Twilight Saga. But that isn't a model for proper protocol in any type of romantic relationship (NEVER LISTEN TO TWILIGHT!).

Anyway, fairy tales give us the happy part of the story. They try to describe the indescribable feeling that comes with being in love. But they leave us stumbling around, lost when the not so amazing part barges into our story uninvited. However, I don't think they're all bad. They give us hope that, eventually, our lives will be the fairy tales. I know I wouldn't go through any of the stuff I do if I didn't believe that ther will be some kind of "happily ever after"

The End
